Marvellous.

The armed Met policeman just lets an armed foreigner in and walks off; and the NHS emergency room staff totally ignore someone with multiple stab wounds, a gunshot wound, and bleeding from the head.

And the makeup department must have spent a long time for just a few seconds of screen time of a pointless shot of #GaryOldman taking the eye patch off.

I thought that there was going to be a twist in the tail, that it was all a set-up by the daughter to get her father out of the picture, but it was not to be.

Quite why I expected something clever at the end of all of that execrable rubbish, I don't know.

I'm at 98 minutes. After an escalation in which both sides suddenly discovered that they had technology, including an armed drone and a magic motorcycle helmet; and a small detour when the one remaining smarter henchman found that it *was* actually allowed to shoot Our Olga as she went up the ramp; we got to the interrogation scene.

The bad guy monologued some more. Olga was visibly not actually tied to the interrogation chair, so it didn't really matter that it was of the freestanding stackable kind favoured by church halls and schools. And the cars in the background disappeared between the long shots and the close-ups.

Convenient for the plot, the first car alarm went off in the entire movie, to be trumped less than a minute later when #OlgaKurylenko discovered an unexplained but very handy gun in a box just lying on the ground, which had not been there a moment before.

Home stretch, everyone! They're almost all dead.

To save you from suspense: At 80 minutes in the henchmen have figured out, after about 1 minute of story time full automatic gunfire, that they could simply kick the stationery cupboard over to get it out of their way.

I thought that the targets, who have broken out of the sealed car park, by dint of working out that with the lifts shut off they could take the stairs, and crawled through (what else!) ventilation ducts to the roof, might also figure out that they could just leave the building.

But apparently the location budget didn't stretch to that.

So instead they're back in the car park. #OlgaKurylenko has just had a big fight scene where continuity didn't remember from shot to shot whether it was against a wall, by a car, or out in the main aisle between the cars.

The other target is in the boot of an H-reg Volvo, which has to be some kind of metaphor.

#GaryOldman has chewed some scenery in New York. Probably for contractual reasons.
