Not a great start when the so called expert refers to the assassin's weapon as a gun. An expert would use rifle, pistol, revolver etc. Also MI6 would not be involved until proof a British citizen or links to country were proven. There are also some laughable dialogue problems, British people just dont talk that way. Some accents are truly awful, just horrible in so many ways. Hopefully the series will evolve with less mistakes as it's a wonderful novel and assuming it's base as a 'limited series' will have a decent conclusion. Obviously the book ends with a proper ending but knowing the industry you wouldn't be surprised if there was another series. The direction is decent as is cinematography, so some good points but the female lead is weak and also comedic in a bizarre way, you don't believe in her character at all, not her fault just bad writing. One day some writer will do research and talk to real people and not tick the 'media' boxes.

So the films National Treasure 1&2 were decently acted and a good giggle. However this other than Harvey Keitel is nowhere near the films, it's virtually vomit inducing from the start. The acting is bad enough, have they just come from stage school or just found wandering the streets, but the script must be written by a 12 year old child who has not been or seen the real world in years? Disney have gone from bad to worse with virtually everything that they have touched recently but this is a step above anything else. They destroyed Star Wars, Marvel, Willow etc and have put the icing on the cake with this pathetic putrid rubbish. Horribly stupid and vile. At least it won't get a second season.
