    So help me it was decent. Martin Campbell's penchant for scenes that get to the point quickly gets more refreshing the more bad contemporary action you watch. This is what Carry On (2024) wishes it was.

    The spy who came in from the cold but with as much post-cold war optimism as Le Carré could muster, i assume.

    The narrative angle this movie takes seems completely insane today, but I wonder who would even have been buying into it at release just 4 years after the LA riots.

    Fantastically stupid writing.

    Direct quote: "we kidnap people and transport them to other countries willing to look the other way while we interrogate them. But we do that with the flag on our back. It's a dangerous grey area to do business in, but we have to be careful about drawing a moral line."

    Is that actually a grey area, though? Morally?
    Is there anything grey about that at all?
