Michael Flatley had a licence to twirl but the former Riverdance star's stab at a James Bond -style spy film has been dubbed a Dr No No.
Critics across the board have given Blackbird a one-star rating as it is released in cinemas this week.
Flatley, 64, said to be worth £200 million, stars in the thriller that he wrote, directed, produced and financed. He even shot some of it at his mansion in Castlehyde, County Cork.
