A real waste of time sadly. The movie has all the elements of a blockbuster, but somehow put together in the wrong particular order (thanks to Eric Morcombe) so that it leaves you wondering when it’s going to end - at over two hours it’s way too self indulgent. Script is lazy, plot is non-existent and the central narrative of a woman who is trying to recapture a life of adventure wears thin after the first 20 minutes. In the end you find yourself resenting the great action set pieces because they become increasing meaningless robbed of any decent plot to anchor them. Poor.

This movie should actually be billed as a disaster movie - because a disaster it was. Don’t be fooled by the stellar cast. A series of increasingly implausible plot twists, quickly makes you lose all interest in any of the characters - and in any of the plot. You know you’re in trouble when you long for the stone cold realism of Bobby’s dream revelation in Dallas. Plot spoiler - we left early. Would have left a zero star, but not possible. Do yourself a favour - stay home and watch an old episode of Come Dine With Me. More laughs.
