Delicious satire
20 April 2001
This is an enjoyable spoof of spy movies, with political criticism mixed in, as well as satirical characterizations of espionage and military establishments. There is little violence compared to other movies on this theme; instead, the screenplay relies on witty dialogue. The editing may confuse some, but it appears well done, with several instances of interleaved (interwoven) scenes. This technique, where the action moves back and forth repeatedly between two scenes, is quite effective. The sound track by Shaun Davey adds a lush aura to the movie. If you're tired of blockbuster thrillers and action movies with physically improbable stunts, then you may enjoy this movie.
