Time Out says
This is unabashed Bond-lite spy-jinks through and through, from the aforementioned opening to the Hamleys backroom serving as a gadget emporium to the predictable, London-set cliffhanging finale. Pre-teens usually love films where their peers are in jeopardy from nasty adults (witness ‘Oliver!’, ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’, ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’) and there’s every indication they’ll lap this one up too, despite the ridiculous storyline. Of the dressed-to-thrill cast, only Pettyfer disappoints; he just looks and sounds too bland to be a teen hero. But I’ll leave that for the kids to decide.
