Sleek, fast-paced, visually stunning and action-packed!

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2010)

If it's from Jerry Bruckheimer then we know it's good. However, I had some doubts when I knew that the lead role was played by Jake Gyllenhaal. I've seen his movies before and I thought he lacked energy and charisma. But when I went to see this movie with a friend, I thought I had to give him the benefit of the doubt. I was actually surprised to see his comic side, his fighting skills (which were graceful, by the way) and, for the first time, I noticed that he was a versatile actor. The cinematography was fantastic, the plot was not-so-original but still refreshing and the fight scenes, although not the usual CGI stuff, were entertaining and believable. Overall, the movie delivered!
