"A languid concept is brought to life by Jackson and Reynolds who hold the screen whenever they are in shot, elevating what is often stodgy and unwieldy dialogue into convincing and often funny back and forths intercut with action aplenty. This film zips by at a fairly brisk pace, the third act basically one long chase scene through the streets and rivers of Amsterdam.
However, this does not distract enough from a complete tonal dissonance in the films characters and main plot - why this silly action comedy had to have the very real concept of a brutal dictator standing trial for massacring civilians is anyone's guess and is exceptionally jarring compared to the rest of the films body-count action fest"
- 6/10
