Director: Timbor Bekmambetov
Genre: Action/Adventure
James McAvoy plays the typical bored office worker turned super assassin in this 3rd comic book adaption of the summer. From scene one this movie commands attention.
I just have to say that I really enjoyed this film. The visuals were just amazing. If you've think you've seen everything hollywood has to offer, this movie will surprise you. Normally I'm not easily impressed by a film with just flashy action sequences at the core but they worked well with the story. I give the visuals an A+.
McAvoy is slowly becoming one of the elite actors right now. He makes great choices on the roles he's played the past few years and this one was no exception. It was nice to see him play a different character than the ones he's played in "Atonement" and "Becoming Jane" and he was very convincing in this action picture. As for Angelina, she is good as always. Wasn't to far a stretch from the role she's played in the past though.
At the heart of this movie (as is in most of the films I enjoy the most), is a good story. This screenplay was funny, smart, and even has a few surprising twist in it. It is definitely worth watching if you haven't been to the movies in a while. Check it out!!
