Surprisingly good action film

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2004)

I'm not usually a big fan of action movies, but this one definitely gets my vote. Will Smith gave an excellent performance, demonstrating a maturity to his acting that hasn't always been evident in some of his more slapstick action rolls. Furthermore, the graphics were surprisingly subtle for a film of this genre, but as a result perfectly complemented rather than detracted from the acting. In terms of plot there were one or two aspects that seemed slightly questionable, but on the whole these were by no means sufficient to detract from the fact that it was a great script. For all those ladies out there like myself who have to sit through the obligatory guy film with their boyfriend, I'd say take him along to see this one and score a few brownie points whilst actually enjoying yourself!
