The total opposite of James Bond. Hilarious poke at bond.
The total opposite of James Bond. Hilarious poke at bond.
The casting was great for this movie. Took me awhile to find two people who starred in Braveheart as well. How they got Brosnan to do this movie I'll never know. (they had fun with the interview too on the DVD. Notice they switch the image around ? From time to time.)
While not the best movie around, it sure was fun seeing Brosnan play the exact opposite of his James Bond role. (SPOILERS??)
I've never read the book, but from what I understand the alternate ending was not in the book. So I'm glad Brosnan got away with it. Simply because his boss was the true fool. And Geoffery Rush was as brilliant as he usually is. Loved the part when their both on the shaking bed and Brosnan says. " Harry...Are you pulling my pi**er." This is soooo not not James Bond. I love Bond, but I also love good pokes of fun at it. It's also somewhat of a True Lies 2. Watch it and figure that out.
