A padded remake of a James Bond pre-credits sequence (specifically, the one with Pierce Brosnan and the Millennium Dome). If Cooper’s Stratton is to stick around, he needs to up his game.
Enjoyable, but only if your expectations are low, Stratton is not likely to inspire a sequel anytime soon.
Cooper plays the hero with boyish enthusiasm. What can never be escaped, though, is the utterly formulaic nature of the storytelling.
Cooper plays a member of the elite Special Boat Service in this medium-budget, moderately silly action movie.
Filled with car chases and shootouts Stratton cannot overcome a weak script and some odd casting.
Derek Jacobi’s performance is among the lowlights of this embarrassing Bond-on-a-boat affair.
