    Absolutely gorgeous in design. Beautiful movie. Great concept. Almost completely empty on the inside. No real characters, no real tension, no real feeling of excitement. The last third of the film is a limp game of cat-and-mouse. Even the scenes between Connery and Boyle—which should be electric—feel flat.

    The entire film is an inside joke, but it’s not the one you think it is. The joke isn’t about all the references and cameos and the things that make you feel like you’re in-the-know. Because you’re not. You’re not in on the joke—the joke is about you. About how you think you’re in on it, even though you’re not, about how you’ve paid to watch a movie that hates you, that hates itself, that hates the very ideas it’s…

    Excellent character writing all-around. Even the girls who show up for a handful of minutes feel as real as the ones we spend the full ninety minutes with. A lot of interesting ideas woven together pretty well, if without subtlety from time to time.

    A very serviceable film. Perfectly okay. Some great performances, but…really not a whole lot else to write home about. One of the movies of all time for sure.
