Title: Good action, weak plot
Product review: Maybe I've watched one too many spy thrillers, but the twist in this one was clear from the moment ... well I don't want to spoil it. I'll just say someone who plants bugs for a living should know better. It was so obvious that I thought it might be one of those fake twists to throw people off when they think they've got it. Disappointingly, it wasn't.I was able to suspend disbelief for the pleasantly over-the-top action, yet I couldn't stop wondering why this rosy-cheeked assistant was ever considered for "special ops training" in the first place. From the beginning, he would just mess things up and get lucky enough to talk his way out of it. He'd make a better politician than clandestine terrorist hunter.As an action flick, the second part of the movie doesn't disappoint. There's a fair amount of creative death and destruction, and a respectable car chase. It just felt like a waste of talent. This would be a good movie to play in the background while doing laundry.
