This much hyped film is certainly entertaining, but the dialogue is poor and the diction is lousy. The continuity is questionable as one minute the action is in Rome and the next sequence is on a gondola in Venice. The opening sequence aboard a Russian submarine was lively but none in my party had a clue what was going on. It was like a James Bond for the 21st century - full of gadgets and technology, but short on the fine scripting of the Bond films.
