I hate giving this low a rating to a movie where I got to see Daniel Craig's chest.  Such a pity.  The story had so much potential, but really was a 'fail'.  It just didn't work that well.

The acting and effects were good.  Gotta like stuff blowing up!  The visuals of this movie make it worth seeing, but I can't get past that story line.  There were even a couple times I was hoping it was almost over.

Harrison Ford did well in his role, but I found myself wanting to know more about his character.  I don't think they did enough development of his role, which was a bit of a waste.  There was a missed opportunity there I think.

Anyway, if you're looking for something to watch and only want some action visuals, see this movie.  Otherwise, save your money.

Favorite Quote:  "Don't yank on it.  It's not your pecker."
