it a shame barry humphries infamous sir les patterson character have it film debut in this under cooked spy or comedy . this film remind me of the beatty or hoffman stinker and ishtar ( 1987 ) . humphries should have learn from the mistake that film make if your go to change gear on a concept dont use spy . like ishtar and the first 20 minute or so offer a promise of something different . it would have be great to see the anachronistic and boorish patterson sleazing around in the world of australian politics . one of character even point out that patterson be of date with the current time you would think humphires could of have a field day make commentary on the hawke government ( i can just picture a scene with patterson and hawkie in a drinking contest ) . but instead of a film that might of be clever and even a biting look into that world and we get patterson run around the world a james bond try to save the world from bio chemical weapon that run out of steam before the half way mark . disappointing .
