Negative Positive
Title: A movie I wanted to like, but...
Review: So this is what James Bond does when he comes out of retirement? This is a flick I couldn't get into, even in dvd format. Looking more like a father and daughter, Connery and Zeta-Jones never generate the electricity that say, Brosnon and Russo have in Thomas Crown Affair. I agree with another reader that the stars were miscast. Jones never really gets into character, probably too concious of wanting to look perfect every time she's in a scene. I'm a Connery fan, but the old dog has just simply run out of tricks. We've seen them all. Yes, the theft and the finalé may be worth the price of a rental, but don't buy this, unless you enjoy seeing a 60-some year old man running around with a woman half his age. Ring a bell? (Nicholson and Hunt in As Good As It Gets-what was the attraction there?)
Is the review positive or negative?
