Overall entertaining but some serious pacing and tone shift issues. Neat visuals and action if they are somewhat hamfisted into historical events.

My husband loved it and related to the true facts of the case that started WW!. I found parts of it funny and liked it but was not as thrilled as my husband. I was sorry that the son was killed.

Film had little in common with it's "sequels" except beautifully choreographed fight sequences. 5 minute dedicated to the establishment of the agency, the rest a long setup of why it was necessary. No gadgets, no training, nothing. There was, however, a ridiculous about of f-bombs, usually for no reason other than shock value, as was the case with the highly uncomfortable Rasputin scene

I think the story wasnt explained well. I think it was kind of dumb. Although, I did enjoy some of the action scenes which sometimes made it fun to watch. I don't know if I would really recommend it to most people.
