I think it was a very good but not a great film. Sort of Jason Born and Jack Reacher crossed with a bit of Roger Moore Bond. The good was the visuals, the sound track, the action and the actors. Some of the visual comedy was awesome, especially in the early part of the film before it got too dark. The basic plot is what let it down. the ridiculous premise of a list of assets in risk of falling in to the hands of bad guys is a too often used and way out of date trope plus towards the end they started throwing in plot twists just to make it feel clever. I can forgive all that as I accepted going in as just a fun in your face action/spy flick set in a great era. And just because the super spy hero is a heroin doesn't mean she can't be a womanizer too. Zero complaints about Charlize Theron and Sofia Boutella.
