Someone posted a movie poster to a site and I was interested, so I gave it a shot. It’s obvious that this is a James Bond mash up with the Hardy Boys, with plenty of goofy gadgets and brotherly love to go around. The two main assassins do their part to make the movie a work of art that’s visually pleasing, but at the end of the day, they’re not the brains behind all the action, some guy with a hard on for life sized chess pieces is.
