About

You’ll likely enjoy this high-speed spy thriller if you want globe-trotting missions with tense, standout action set pieces and plenty of humor, but Not for you if you want a deeply grounded plot—similar to The Bourne Identity or Live Free or Die Hard.

Pros: breathtaking action stunts; globetrotting spy thrills; charismatic cast | Cons: villain motive feels thin; some CGI looks rough; plot can get shaky
