isla s This is enjoyable mainly due to one person in the cast - David Suchet, who plays the bad guy/villianous 'Leo Gillette'. His dialogue is often corny, think faux English gangster cliche but its quite amusing to watch, I'll give you that. Otherwise, this was obviously a film made on a lowish budget and it very much has a TV film feel to it. It looks pretty dated now a days - I found myself cringing at the old fashioned computer screens, webpages etc. shown during the film but then it is over 15 years old I suppose (it was released in 2003 I believe). This is very much an ok, average and no more film - if it weren't for Suchets involvement, this would have received a lower rating from me but I did find his character cheesily amusing, so I upped it to this rating. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Bardzo zwyczajny, niespecjalnie ciekawy, najwyżej średnio zagrany Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Très surprise ! Ce film n'a rien à envier à Ocean Eleven ou les films de la même veine. A voir !
