I know that I should have known better and have never watched any films in this series before as I can't stand Tom Cruise but a friend recommended seeing it. She'd seen it twice already! Admittedly the attraction for her were the mountain scenes set in the Mackinnon Pass area of Milford Sound which were spectacular.
The only problem was that these were at the very, very end of a long and unengaging film. Crap in fact. Fiordland (and Norway) was substituting for Kashmir. It's just a pity that this wasn't at the start of the film so that I could have walked out after the sequences were finished.
Still, I admit the New Zealand scenery bits were great and the helicopter stunts special.
I liked the Jason Bourne series. The films were snappy and riveting and the plots sort of made sense. This ponderous pap from Cruise though is nowhere near riveting even though it's filmed in vibrant cities (Berlin, Paris, London) and has any amount of car and motorbike action. Dull.

I'm planning to catch this movie soon. You might be affected by too many chick flicks. Maybe there wasn't enough conversation over coffee in the film for you? Were there any complicated relationships? You've got to get to more action movies. Stay well away from The Four Dames!
That'll probably be what Robert finishes up watching on free to air. Poor bugger.
Four.
Six really but those pedantic South African line judges just had to put their ours in.
Oars.
