Funny is not the word...but I understand your point. As an art fan I did enjoy his judgement. I would have never said of course "Van Gogh is better" but that is the way I would have felt. He said that like I would say of course, "Jordan is better than Lebron.". You have to love the Euro sensibilities in those moments.
I like the fact the this spy/hitman/terrorist thought about other things. An American hit man flick would have only thought how cute Veronica Dreyer was and if he had any time for random conversation it would have been about her looks. Stuff blowing up and him...not a scratch. This character admitted to being afraid of being tortured and wondered out loud if he was tough enough to handle it.
All of that stuff make this an interesting film for me. I had to do my homework on the war with Algeria to have a better understanding.
