This was no Casino Royale, but at least there was some interesting type. I am torn between thinking that the location cards were totally lame and, like Maddox says, the ethnic-looking fonts are condescending to the audience – yet, at the same time I am happy to just see some different type on the screen. Moreover though, this plethora of type did not make up for a weak story... I have to agree, sadly. This was no Casino Royale, but at least there was some interesting type.
