Review:

I don't know how to describe this film other than to say that it had so much stuff happening in it that I actually had some trouble following what was going on. I know there's a conspiracy, there's always a conspiracy, but I just don't feel like everything came together in retrospect at the end. Plus, the ending seemed kind of random. I'm not sure if it's a British thing or a guy thing or what but I lost interest after a while. I just felt that the story seemed unfocused and I honestly didn't find myself caring about Daniel Craig's character at all.
