Went to see this today - totally tongue in cheek, very well made and very funny. A spy film reminiscent of True Lies. Recommended.

Went to see it today and came out VERY angry. There was something wrong with the sound and I told them within the first few minutes and another three times. There was no bass and you could hardly hear the music or gunshots/explosions.

They never fixed it. At the end when I complained again they tried to fob me off saying it was how the film was made. I wasn't having any of it so got complimentary tickets. I had paid £23 for premier tickets ffs.

Really spoiled my enjoyment of the film, the sound in a good cinema is at least 50% of the experience. I wished I'd waited and watched it at home on my own home cinema.

It did seem like a very good film, one of those tongue in cheek films that actually works.

I loved it. It worked because it did not take itself too seriously.

The sound was fine at my local Odeon on this film, at exactly half the price of Leicester Square Odeon last weekend, which I was astonished to find was £30 for a couple in the cheap seats.

I stopped going to the cinema for years until they upgraded the sound (must have been the cables ). Now even the little screens at my local Vue all have good sound. The 3D screen is the best - very high quality digital projection and sound.

Worthwhile seeing again at a decent cinema.

If it's on DVD then it isn't Kosher. The film was only released last weekend!

There was another film called RED from 2008. Don't get the two confused



PS Helen Mirren - they were very big guns as well!
