    It's a deluxe vacation for adults with all frills included: glamorous settings, glamorous clothes, glamorous sex.

    Strangely enough, this movie provides a lot of the James Bond veneer that has been missing from recent James Bond movies.

    As absorbed as he is with his characters, McTiernan is still able to provide a couple of dazzling set pieces - the sustained opening heist (involving a pun-intended Trojan horse) is a doozy, while the Magritte-inspired, music-fuelled denouement is, well, inspired.
  4. 60
    It's enjoyable poppycock.

  1. Pierce Brosnan and René Russo in absolute top form! A heist-movie that is one of the great paragons for the also brilliant Ocean's-movies. And, of course, one that doesn't have to hide behind them. Awesome!!! Expand
