VERY Entertaining but not for the kids

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2010)

This film is very entertaining. Nicholas Cage is brilliant as the burnt out, mad at the system, mad at life, mad at the bad guy typical (in my view) gun toting American Dad who is bringing his daughter up to be the all new slightly disturbed female RAMBO. Cloe Moretz defies her age by putting in a very adult performance as a not too slightly twisted young HitGirl. It should really worry her parents that she could make the role so believable. Aaron Johnson also plays a great role as the lead and managed to make me both want to punch him and also want him to succeed so much. Finally, what can I say about Lyndsy Fonseca.... That girl is so hot, I heard the rest of the cast suffered third degree burns when ever they performed with her.
The film does fall a little into the typical American "Boy meets girl who is so far out of his league. Boy does something really great. Super sexy girl suddenly falls totally in love with geeky boy" etc etc etc. That though is the only flaw I would tag the film with. It is entertaining, fast paced, full of action, explosion, bad guys, henchman, more explosions, blood, guts, legs being removed, more explosions and lots and lots of tongue in cheek comedy.
Definitely a recommended watch. Even if it's just to see Lyndsy Fonseca in just her undies.....I'm in love
