Like Shaun Of The Dead, this is about 70% as funny as it should be, but it’s still pretty magnificent entertainment, thanks largely to one of the best supporting casts in recent history: Paddy Considine, Adam Buxton, Steve Coogan, Timothy Dalton, Billie Whitelaw, Bill Nighy, Edward Woodward, Bill Bailey (twice)… the list goes on. The homages are well chosen, the action surprisingly exciting, the characterisation obvious but convincing. If only there were just a few more good jokes.

Not to mention a very funny uncredited appearance by Cate Blanchett as Nicolas Angel’s ex-girlfriend.
that’s not cate blanchett
Of course it is.
Wow…totally didn’t realize that. It’s even funnier now in retrospect with that mask over her face.
