Surprising Opinion!

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2007)

The reason i went to see this this film was purely based on the fact that i was obviously aware of how well it had been doing! Action films aren't generally what i would go and see but being the biggest film released so far this year, especially in the US, i thought it would be my best option! Well i've got to say that it is a reasonably simple story and once i realised that it was mostly about the visual and the fighting, i really got into it! The film looks amazing and the way the eye moves through the physical action is magical! It is quite gory and this made some people in the cinema cringe a little- the woman sat in front of us was on her own and looked traumatised throughout which was amusing! There were also various places where the odd comic lines added occasional humour which worked perfectly! Personally, i think that this is definitely a must-see if you're not against some graphic action violence! This is actually a film that i wouldn't have thought i would want to buy when it comes out on DVD, but would now i have seen it! Once again, the visual is almost gripping!
