Featured review
007
Just what was needed. A punk version of James Bond. The first 12 minutes or so was almost believable. It even had a little decent humor. The movie went downhill from there. The music wasn't to my taste, but I can understand that many younger people will like it. If it is possible for an action flick to be less believable than the Bond movies, this one was.
