Spain and its capital city provide an unusual and attractive backdrop to this enthusiastically daft action-thriller. The story is very light on credibility, but there is some good camerawork on display and the action is generally well-choreographed. Sigourney Weaver plays the ice-cool agent well, but Henry Cavill shows that he can carry a film effectively, and it is good to see him in a contemporary role that bodes well for his forthcoming Superman role. His character does an awful lot of running in this film, and he is definitely a leading contender for this year's Convenient Speedy Recovery From A Gunshot Wound award. Whilst some of the narrative leaps are very hard to take, The Cold Light Of Day proves to be a straightforward, well-made and mildly diverting thriller.
