  Brrr Archangel
  
  Until the machine guns opened up and Craig became an immune super hero this was ok. Good to see inside Russia ? or at least somewhere that looks like it.

  I liked - seen it twice
  
  Excellent film, good acting and loads of action. Typical of Daniel Craig! The plot was a bit far fetched but so what, very enjoyable.

  Good to Watch holds your Attention
  
  Good story always interesting when set in Russia, adds to the mystery. Much better than the average film well worth renting.
