Better - Very Good - would watch it again and again

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2010)

In my opinion, Angelina Jolie is one of the most beautiful women alive in the world today. As an actress, she has played so many different roles and all so well that she could recite the alphabet and I would be enthralled and intrigued.
All of this is to say that she very well plays the role of a super-spy CIA agent in this action/suspense/spy movie. Adding to the value of this enjoyable movie is the fact that her love interest is a very average looking guy (yeah, and a world-renowned scientist). I'll freely admit that I (an average looking guy) am attracted to movies where the gorgeous woman is devoted to such a guy.
Jolie is accused of being a "sleeper" KGB agent and the movie unfolds to reveal what happens next.
And what happens next involves amazing chase scenes, satisfying action sequences, and enough plot twists to make sure that even a non-Angelina fan will remain enthralled and intrigued. There have been enough posts about the plot weaknesses in this movie so I won't go there. Action movies generally require a certain amount of suspension of disbelief but this one clearly requires more. Suffice it to say that this is why my rating was 8/10 rather than 10/10.
If you are waiting for Jolie to make a third Lara Croft Tombraider film then check out this movie. If you expect your action movies to actually make some sense then watch this one only if you are a Jolie fan.
