Ended up in Cardiff early this weekend so I thought I'd try and get a film in.. I was a bit limited with the choices and ended up seeing this...
I'd seen Lake Bell recently in 'Man Up' and she was funny (plus put on a good English accent). I like Owen Wilson too.. He's another funny guy.. But here they're playing a married couple who've just relocated to a non-specific country on the Vietnamese border, and it's far from funny.. As soon as they arrive there's a revolution and an angry mob start slaughtering tourists, foreigners and generally anyone who looks at them funny..
I'm not quite sure what to make of this one.. Being a 15 certificate there was plenty of swearing and blood. Pierce Brosnan turns up as a ex-pat who has a shady past and is probably about the best thing in it in my opinion.. It does pick-up slightly half way through but seriously I think our two leads are mis-cast.
Overall its a **1/2 movie.. and those stars are down to Bond himself..
