spies (is there any other kind?) led by Timothy Dalton. Jennifer Connelly is
on hand as the love interest.

1930s superhero action with The Rocketeer of the title (guy wearing a jetpack)
thwarting the nefarious plans of Nazi spies. Okay special effects, but the story tends to
drag and ultimately the most interesting thing in it is sumptuous Jennifer
Connelly's
cleavage.
