    Decently plotted but slightly nonsensical reject-spies thriller that’s elevated a lot by the dialogue and acting. Oldman is chewing scenery in the best way.

    There’s some character development, but it’s much more about spending time with characters you like and seeing how they (mostly) escape this time. The book series is almost annual, seems like beach/airport-read territory.

    It’s worthwhile, but don’t dwell on the premise itself too much, especially after they get fucked over the first couple of times.
