Picasso Trigger

“They take their art seriously. They kill.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 64, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
An assassination kicks off a globe-hopping spy caper full of double-crosses, beachwear and improbable gadgetry. Andy Sidaris keeps the pulp knowingly overheated, while the stiff exchanges make even routine briefings feel like undercover operations against natural conversation.
