Enjoyable romp with a stand out comedy performance from Steve Zahn! Love that man so much I am not nostalgic for this, so I found it a little hard to follow on first viewing here, with the biggest thing dragging it down is this film not knowing what tone it’s going for. I think it’s great to blend genres, but some cuts to comedy, cut to drama, cut to espionage to cutting to adventure were a little jarring. I had no idea what it was trying to say and what it wanted me to feel. With that being said, I really wish the script could be more confident in itself.  Overall though, some really cool action sequences with a great setting makes it a lot of fun. Standout visuals throughout! Matthew, Penelope were both great. Fun to see Rainn Wilson do something different! This film is…Aggressively 2005, but in a good way. You can’t tell most things were done practically! I miss when action films did that. It seems to be coming back  “Hey, how’s it going!?” “That was my favourite hat!!!” Steve Zahn always has my heart.  Fun movie night with friend TY!
