Good light entertainment.

Rating: 7/10 (31 August 2008)

This is a leave your brain at the door film but a good one.
The cast all deliver although Blair's role is mostly out of place and too serious for the tone of the rest of the film. Goss is surprisingly good in the main serious role and Perlman steals most scenes with the best one liners and good comic timing.
This isn't an out-and-out comedy, the underlying plot is quite dark and intelligent with a quickly sketched history and some predictable but well done emotional moments.
The visuals are spectacular and imaginative and the action sequences are quick, unusual and played partly for laughs.
A very watchable film, no Oscars but definitely worth seeing.
