I hadn't heard much about this movie, so when I came to see it, it was hype free. Which I think served it better. i had no expectations I just wanted a bit of a laugh. I got one. Though their are weak points to the story, and afew plot holes to boot, some people have missed the point watching this. There are at least two damning reviews on this site - one by a filmmaker I respect - but I have to disagree with his view.
This film does not take itself seriously and was intended to get the same reaction from the audience. The "bad" acting was deliberately hammy because that was the idea. And you have to award points to any director who manages to turn a show into a weapon in on scene. I loved that moment.
All in all, not a great movie. But it served its purpose and entertained me for the night. Lighten up people! Amber Moelter was wonderful and Richard was good too. Bond villain!
