This film could have been great if they just played it straight. All the scenes with Mads Mikkelsen as a brooding hitman are great. The shots of the snow-capped mountains and cinematography are really well done. This is all ruined by trying to give it a comic book feel by having a group of over the top, outlandish villains, hamming it up. The movie just does not flow. And the worst casting decision in history to have Matt Lucas as the Mr Big! Even if you had never seen him in his comic avatar it just doesn't work. What a waste!...avoid
