America: where the President would rather annihilate 81 innocent civilians than pay reperations to families of people who died on illegal missions that he sent them on. The plot is full of rockin’ entertainment but is occasionally hard to get into when said country is such a major player in it and isn’t always viewed through a critical lens. Still, the cast’s got charisma for days (Cage and Conn err not once) and the action overflows (see the destructive joyride through San Fran tangent).

The only reason I watched this movie earlier this year was because of the popular “fan theory” out there that Connery’s character was actually supposed to be James Bond. There was a whole reddit post with examples from films supporting the theory, and it’s kind of wild.
