Went and saw this last night but first off, here is the trailer:



Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is stuck in a job he hates in a life he hates, meadering thru a worthless existence (hmm, sounds firmilar) until a lady called "Fox" (Angelina Jolie) scoops him up (literally) and shows him another world, a world he was destined to be in. A "Fraterntity of Assassins" the has been around for centuries. He is told that his father (who left when he was 7days old) was the best and was killed by another Fraternity member who went "Rogue" a guy referred to as "X" or "Cross", they train him up to join the Fraternity and to avenge his Fathers death (why didnt they just call him Luke Skywalker?)

The film is really good, plenty of action and oneliners and a nice peppering of humour. The film takes a twist half way thru that pushed my suspense of disbelief right to the edge. The gun fight/work borrows heavily from the matrix (but without the mega over the top bullettime SFX), the bullet bending etc was done in a way that made it believable

i really enjoyed the film, as i said, the "twist bit" and the "Weaving thing" (dont want to give anyhting away) is where it got a bit thin from me but i let it slide as it is a rollercoaster of a movie. its worth the price of admission just to see Morgan Freeman swear!

I will say 7 Intoxications out of 10

Will i buy this on DVD? definaltey. Would got further and buy it on Bluray? a good possiblility

someone pleez, pleez feed Angelina Jolie, she was so thin!

it is a bit like that, but where its so slickly and cooly done, you just go "yeah, I'll buy into this" its cerainly not as "no brainy" as some other films i have seen.
McAvoy does a great job transforming from the nerdy wimp at the begining of the film to the cool, battle hardened arse kicker we see materialize from the second act onward, and i think thats the key in any film is getting the viewer to buy in to the over the topness (gotta stop making up these words!)

[Crystal Shadow]

if people didn't make up new words ain't would have never made websters, and we wouldn't be able to laugh at bush so much.

[Metallicorphan is an Ass]

why who's bush do you laugh at?....;)
