The last half was certainly better than the first but it's getting kinda tiring seeing Nic Cage gurning through a movie although he did have some great lines and it does have a couple of scenes 2nd cousin twice removed from the Abel Ferrara movie of the same name.
The ending however sucked and I really hope it was a cynical pastiche of Hollywood's predeliction for mawkish sentimentality but I really don't think it was.
I have never even seen a Pierce Brosnan Bond movie and now I know why. It looks horribly dated already and whilst it was mildly diverting it was forgettable tosh.
A Se7en rip off that does have some decent moments regarding cinematography and the soundtrack but I guessed the culprit before the end and it sort of caves in on itself after a relatively OK opening half hour.
