The absence of any surprise, a rudimentary plot, cardboard cut-out characters and a shortage of ideas means that you find yourself watching, in glazed disinterest, variations of the same situation over and over again:
Agents zeroing in as JWB uses a crowd scene as cover to make some essential rendezvous. Athens, Berlin, L.A., but the action sequence is identical: JWB rushing purposefully through a crowd, agents lose his trail, despite shooting anyone who stands in their way etc.
Not just nonsense, but boring nonsense.
Didn't realise we had a secret agent/trained killer at MB!
