I rate this the worst mainstream movie I've seen since 'Ashanti' back in 1979. Indescribably bad in every department. The sub James Bond plot is barely comprehensible, the acting all round is atrocious, especially that of Danish actress Sidse Babett Knudsen; the script - risible. Even setting the movie in Florence, Venice and Istanbul is a waste of time since the camera barely lingers long enough for us to appreciate the beauty of these locations. There is a total absence of suspense and we care nothing about any of the characters. This film exhibits everything that is wrong with modern cinema - rapid editing, shaky camera,meaningless noisy soundtrack all designed to create an atmosphere of fake excitement where nothing of any substance exists. It actually occurred to me halfway through that the entire movie was a spoof.
