Harry Palmer faces an eight year stretch in a British military prison for black market dealing, but he's offered a chance to redeem himself with a mission.
It's a production of some scale, and for me that's where the true strength is, it looks fabulous, great location work, wonderful visuals, and of course it gets the right flavour, I feel like I'm transported back to the era.
Hard not to draw comparisons with the original, which is of course pretty iconic, and whilst I don't quite think this is up there, it's a good start, definitely well paced.
The Russian villain, all I could see was Tyson Fury, not too sure about him. If Tyson Fury chose to act, there are definitely parts out there for him.
Good start, 7/10.
