Stormbreaker uses Hollywood style filmmaking with British eccentricity to fun effect. Action, chases, impossible escapes and a bright young spy whose uncle had taught him all the tricks under the guise of hobbies, Stormbreaker is no chore for accompanying adults, although they are not strictly speaking necessary. ...
