Where do they get the ideas for such nonsense.
Security chief at the US Embassy in London Milla Jovovich discovers something fishy and as a result the worlds most feared hit man for no sensible reason is sent to kill her and makes a horses arse out of himself blowing up a restaurant and then showing how useless he was at shooting at her from about 10 yards away.
The acting is poor and the script laughable. One nonsensical scene has Dylan McDermott walk up to a major crime scene and simply says 'American Embassy' to a policeman, as if that would magically grant him access. But of course it does without the copper even bothering to ask for some form of ID. And the policeman in charge is referred to as 'inspector' rather than detective inspector or detective chief inspector which are real police ranks here. Does America know anything about the real world? It seems not!
Then Milla becomes the worlds most wanted after 'killing' traitor Robert Forster in a public place. Then after discovering a dastardly plot to blow up Times Square instead of telling her bosses she impossibly is able to just wander onto a flight to New York on New Years Eve. Followed by the now worlds most useless assassin Pierce Brosnan who has had so many attempts to kill her fail he should have just gave up and had a cup of Horlicks.
Then some other stuff happens and the worlds most, by now, inept assassin gets his ass kicked, by what is just another bureaucrat regardless of her fancy title, and falls off a tall building.
Milla vindicated her boss tells her he had faith in her judgement and all's well that ends well.
As we say here in England. 'What a load of b#llocks'. Giving it 1 is too kind. If you want to see how to do this really well take a look at Dirty War (2004) from BBC and HBO.
