plenty of eye candy in this one!

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 2006)

I liked it. I didn't think it was trying to be overly cool, and the dialog was amusing. I mean, I go to movies just to be entertained so it worked for me.
The best part of this film was the characters. I forgot Ben Kingsley was Ben Kingsley, and even Morgan Freeman, who is such an engaging person in himself always exuding integrity, goes beyond that and conveys a kind of weakness or hypocrisy which really made it feel like a different character for him. Bruce Willis was phenomenally elegant, and Josh Harnett - well, he doesn't really need to do much to be very amusing but I liked his delivery even though some called it smug.
People are ripping this movie a new one because it emulates other films, but the thing that carried it for me was the acting and the characterizations. I agree with another poster who said the first 20 minutes are amazing. Definitely a very strong rental with fun twists. Very violent though.
