Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2010)

New and fresh. This is not a copy of some other film. It's a story well told. The characters are fun and the plot twists are good. Half way through the film I had no idea where the story was taking us. The twists and turns were all well done. This movie was everything that Robin Hood wasn't. Namely the girl was beautiful and the man was strong and not 'fat'.
The stunts were amazing. Lots of Free Running. They were very real. I'm sure there was some CGI but for the most part the stunts looked real. .
Setting the movie in Persia (modern Iran)was a great idea. I hope the movie's content isn't in any way insulting to Iran, as I think it gives the Persian people a sort of mythical back story that we in the west can relate to them on a more human level. The Persian's are the heroes of this story and not the evil ethnic stereo type cannon fodder.
For the most part most of the characters looked some what Persian with no blonds or red heads in sight. There were however a few freckles and blue eyes. This is what I want to see when I go to a movie. A great story. The setting is in an exotic land. Good looking people who seem nice and don't throw phones or bite.
