SYNOPSIS: A secret government organization tries to stop a nuclear terrorist from gaining Russian nuclear launch codes.
CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: Espionage in the high tech age. James Bond meets American ingenuity.
PROS AND CONS: This film is part of a franchise. Franchises are only successful if the films meet with broad public acceptance and approval. So, this must be what the public wants.
A lot of action, a lot of plot twists, great location shooting and a total disbelief in reality. Don’t get me wrong, this is a fun film to watch and I am sure the next installment (Rogue Nation) will be just as good.
However, If found myself checking email on my phone and reading up on the film on the Internet Movie Database during most of the lengthy action sequences. I paid the most attention during the scenes where there was actual plot development.
Which had me wondering, are there Russian action movies where a KGB agent saves the inept Americans by preventing an Idaho Neo Nazi from blowing up Hoover Dam? Just sayin…….
This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.
Clicking on the title will take you to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) entry for this film.
