Thoughts

There was so little Christmas in this, I feel a bit robbed. A little montage of Christmas in London does not a festive movie make. So I was already a bit grumpy with the whole thing and when it turned out to not be very good, that was the final nail in the coffin. It’s not really a good sign that the best characters were not in the family…

There was the occasional funny moment but generally it was just a mediocre spy thriller with some lazy plotting. I’m sure there’ll be a third one though - which member of the family can we drag out of the past next time?
