The ever-magnetic Gal Gadot here plays a double agent for MI6 and a shadowy group of ex-operatives The Charter on the trail of an elite computer programmer/hacker and a super-sophisticated AI system in this slick and muscular action-thriller. The film positions itself alongside modern-day genre leaders such as the Mission: Impossible movies and the Bond series (with the great Sophie Okonedo here playing a more frosty world-weary version of Dench's M), its glamorous globetrotting , city-centre car chase and race-against-time finale all comfortably in place. Whilst hardly ground-breaking, it is well-made, undemanding and entertaining action nonsense with some effective big set pieces.
