Vince Flynn "Lite"

Rating: 8/10 (5 February 2011)

If you like Vince Flynn's novels about political intrigue, you'll love this movie, which is in the same vein, but a lot of fun. Interesting and believable plot and good acting, especially by John Malkovich, who is simply hilarious and comes close to stealing the show. What a smooth actor he is--I hope he takes an award for this movie. Morgan Freeman is terrific too, though he doesn't look close to the 80-year-old he is said to be in this part. Bruce Willis is better than usual. His portrayal of emotion is much like the description Dorothy Parker gave to Katherine Hepburn years ago, it "runs the gamut from A to B." This movie is a fun way to spend an evening. I watched it twice in 24 hours, to see what I missed the first time around.
