Creative take on the traditional spy movies

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2015)

It's overall a very entertaining movie; especially the way it married traditional gentleman spy service to the rebellious young generation. It was fascinating to see how the young recruits were made up to scratch and the training was inspiring with the qualities it emphasized. I love the way the characters took their names after the Knights of the Round Table. What was both exciting and slightly intimidating was the Blade Girl - I am not averse to bloodshed but every time she made her appearance there was usually more than the usual amount of blood. The director must have been paying tribute to Tarantino with his almost cult-like killing and explosion shots. Except for the parts when he killed off one of my favorite characters and when he (in my opinion) slightly overdid the killing spree, I enjoyed every other moment of this movie. Recommended.
