Mis-hit mayhem: Secret agent Timothy Olyphant having a rough day at the office
10 April 2012
A baby-faced secret agent (Timothy Olyphant) gets embroiled in Russian politics when a hit goes mysteriously wrong.
Everyone's after him, including a world-weary Interpol agent (Dougray Scott) and hundreds of gloomily evil Slavs.
Our hero also has a feisty ex-prostitute on his hands. Can he evade capture and protect the girl? Hint: that's not a real question.
The film, based on a video game, has one neat moment, where the bald Olyphant stands in close proximity to some shop-store mannequins.
We're meant to note the similarity. Alas, we're also expected to give a hoot about what happens next. The film's target audience - dummies everywhere - will be blown away.
