Ratings and reviews

Possibly one of the worst action movies ever made. The acting isn't bad, the plot though... It's got more holes than a colander. Please don't waste your time or money on this piece of rubbish.

Solidly, directed and acted. Better viewed as 2 hour spin off, rather than a theatrical film. Enjoyable nonetheless as characters old and new turn up or bite the bullet, in various spooks fashion. One for the fans.

I thought the films production was wonderful throughout. The plot was good, though better in the first half. It had a bit of an anticlimax feel about it once it finished. I would watch it again just for the cinematography and production.
