Exactly no one was asking for this. So it's a surprise to discover that the bar for this movie is low enough to conga under.

As for Cavill, let us just say that the line between phlegmatic suavity and downright dullness is rather more easily breached than the Berlin Wall.

It's breezy and elegant - so breezily elegant it can make you laugh out loud from frame to frame.

This is one of those rare instances when a sequel wouldn't just be warranted - it would be welcomed.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
