Bad thriller, poor plot, yet watchable. For all intelligent thriller's lovers, this one will insult your intelligence.

The idea probably copied from "The Method". Use the same argument, all candidates reunited in the same room just for one job.

The difference is that The Method delivers sense and reality (all what this one lack of).

I liked the beginning, but little by little it let me down. When all male characters start showing their "Macho with no brain" qualities, when is more about surviving and outlasting to the others, you almost forget that this is about a job interview (it could have been for the Army). They tried to fix it at the end, trying to provide a clever answer to the whole process of violence, but to me it just make it even worst.

I guess it would be worth it to watch both (The Method is Spanish) to compare. To me this is a 4, The Method is a 7.

Firrst of all I will say that I was a Bond fan in my youth but to me Bond died with Roger Moore. I stopped watching Bond movies for a while after seeing Timothy Dalton's. Then, after reading some reviews, and because I liked him as Remington Steele, I decided to give Goldeneye I chance (big mistake) and then once more with Casino Royale and this last one.

Without loosing Bond identity features, its roots, I would expect the scriptwriters to squeeze their brains a bit more cause today is not enough if you make a cocktail with just a sexist man, a fancy car, a pretty girl, some random killing and action and a villain (shaken or stirred) and serve it thinking that as the ingredients are good anything with them in it is gonna be tasty and good, wrong! I need a more elaborated plot. Is like having a carpet in the kitchen or in the bathroom, sure 50 years ago was fashionable in UK but today I just do not want it.

Reviews were good so I decided to go. Also for its 50th Anniversary, for Bardem, for Scotland. I liked the tributes made to the first Bond movies, I liked Bardem in his first 10 min but then as the story cannot be more absurd there's no way the actors can hold the movie.

At some point I thought I could be yet surprised when action is translated to Scotland: "could it be? Will Sean Connery make a surprise cameo?" After all the tributes at least I could have given that to the movie, a nice surpricse and the ability to laugh at themselves but not, wasn't Sir Connery, WASN'T even Scottish!!

I tend to take now 007 as a joke, a comedy, a bad action movie and even worst thriller and I will try to refrain myself of watching next "best bond" movie yet to come as that was 50 years ago. I will go to the pub instead and ask for a martini, shaken not stirred.

.. so it can last for 2 hours cause is the only good thing you will have in that time.

I was looking forward to see this movie. Well, I will resume this movie in 7 lines:

• 2 hours of tediousness.

• The script is poor, too poor.

• Acting, cannot judge it cause the actors didn't have enough material.

-Mr Scott.. what the hell is this? I guess you were thinking only in

making money without bother in the script, the plot, everything.

• Huge disappointmen. I will think it twice before going to see your

Blade Runner's sequel.
