Movie Haiku:Empty calories: drug-dealers triple-cross each other in high style in fabulous Amsterdam & London-based locations. Characters are all from central casting, from the cynic-on-top (Gambon) to the “play-doh” girlfriend (Sienna Miller) used only to distract our unnamed hero (Craig) before the next in an endless series of brutal beatings & deaths.
