4/10
This was, you know, whatever. The best review was given to me by a friend halfway through, remarking that it was like a "Tom Cruise wet dream". Hard to disagree, and not hard to see why he produced it. He gets to flirt effortlessly with all the ladies, take out all the bad guys, and say all the zippy one-liners. It's like James Bond with an unearned sense of smugness. I thought Rosamund Pike was really bad and I want to say Werner Herzog was criminally underused but he's probably not a terribly great actor to begin with, so maybe less was more...he should have been allowed to script his own lines though. The plot is very predictable but passable enough to keep you watching.
