Average Overall

Rating: 6/10 (14 September 2013)

Although, initially, the film bored me, it became more entertaining mid- movie.
I think the screenplay was below par, as the plot felt a little rushed to begin with (like a quick back story to get us up to date), purely to set up for the more exciting climax of the film. However, once that was over, the storyline suddenly peaked my interest.
The motivation behind Max's actions were clear, and although in the end it becomes a bog standard boy-meets-girl subplot, the whole idea of the story is a redeeming factor. The villains were convincing enough, but I felt the motivation behind Delacourt's actions (other than the standard 'she was evil') were a tad foggy.
Overall, the film was not my favourite, but the whole idea of the story was a good one. The acting was good, the fight scenes okay, but the screenplay could have been improved.
