Okay. It had a fair few cool moments and scenes, but it was also far too long and often a bit of a slog. It felt like it wanted to be a Cold War thriller but wasn't sharp enough to pull it off - it was full of cliches and boring soldier men, and very predictable. It kind of made me want to be watching a Nick Fury movie instead.
Two of the coolest moments featured older actors in cameos but were then squandered - 1) Jenny Agutter suddenly being kick-ass, which I was already hoping for Alan Dale to at least give a go, which was then deflated by it turning out to be Black Widow; 2) Gary Shandling turning up and then whispering "Hail Hydra", which was so ace but then got tied off with the usual "CIA pulls up in front of minor bad guy in end montage" scene.
