An enjoyable 60’s conspiracy romp that confidently took me back to the shady shananigans of the trilby wearing C.I.A

The birth of the burger kept me glued to the screen from beginning to end. With a tour de force performance from Michael Keaton that was the perfect topping.  Great writing. Great acting and an insight that will affect how you look at the golden arches for ever more.

Its not often that an actor gets a script to play 23 characters in one film and though he doesn’t play all of them James McAvoy plays each one excellently. If you take into account that he only had a few months to learn the several characters he played this is an extraordinary feat.

Been a while since I never closed my mouth through a whole movie. Very watchable and kept a consistent pace. And loved the fan surprise.

It is often the case that when you revisit a place you have fond memories of it never is quite the same.  a case of the sequel not living up to the original!! From holidays to exs the second time around can be a disappointment. T2 was no different, I left wishing I had never bumped into these four old friends again. Weak, pointless and plotless. Danny may well have been better sticking to porno.
