Favorite Movie Quote: "Yell all you like - the Lord himself won't hear you."
So, this is an adaptation from a video game. Maybe that is part of the problem. It just didn't have any soul. It was cold and mindless and exciting, but the sets looked as if they came from a video game, and there was more shooting than performing.
Compare that to Jason Statham in Crank or Clive Owen in Shoot 'Em Up; both had lots of action, but they also had characters we cared about and something of a story to follow. They had a soul.
Timothy Olyphant was pleasurable, but didn't have much to work with. Ukrainian Olga Kurylenko (Paris, je t'aime) was an interesting character, not just for her casual dress, but she was someone you cared about. There should have been more like her. We'll get to see more of her in Quantum of Solace, and I look forward to that.
The formula for the movie is entertaining, but more needed to be done.
