George Clooney and Nicole Kidman have to save the world after 10 nuclear weapons are stolen by Russians.
It’s genuinely exciting, with some particularly strong scenes – one set on a bridge and another in the streets of New York City. It’s the sort of film you wish the 1990s James Bond instalments had been, with strong characters, credible geopolitics, tight plotting, and a convincing scenario. The Pierce Brosnan films, sadly, had none of those things.
Kidman impresses more than usual as a senior member of the National Security Council turned action hero.
