He is Sam Fisher He is a Splinter Cell

((is that the advantage? It's not clear.))

Mission Fish

All over the place. Fun and exciting at times, achingly dull and cliched at others. Totally unbelievable, many chase scenes, shallow romance subplot, male gaze-y descriptions of every female character, much gadgets, kind of a lot of product placement, and what feels like a denouement that was hacked into a press piece for some stealth watercraft with an eye-rolling acronym.

I won't lie and say I didn't enjoy it, but there wasn't exactly a lot of soy on the bean on this one. It's a Hollywood blockbuster that goes down easy if you don't think too hard.
