About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, gadget-filled spy adventure with big chases and a slightly tongue-in-cheek tone, like Johnny English or Jason Bourne; Not for you if you need tight realism and a simple plot.
Pros: big action set pieces; classic spy gadgets; charismatic lead | Cons: messy, confusing plot; uneven supporting cast; silly, implausible moments
