Both Dm and Mrs. Dm give all three the thumbs up. It's an entertaining park-your-brain-outside spy romp, with preposterous deux-ex-machina escapes thinly disguised as spy cunning. Reminded me a lot of Alias in it's frenetic energy. Jeff Imada did the fight choreography and he's been working it for years - it's decent stuff but you need to be quick of eye (or handy with the slow mo) to catch it. The camerawork was pretty wobbly, but it worked for me, like the shaky upside-down part of the rollercoaster ride. We'd like to see the whole trilogy back-to-back. Lustbader wrote books 4 & 5 - will they continue the franchise? We hope so.
