Amazing

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2011)

I was truly amazed by this movie. It riveted me to my chair and made me not to want to leave till I saw the whole thing. I found the acting quite excellent, particularly by Angelina Jolie. It was the plot that truly amazed me. I am one of those people who want to see something different than the same old tried and true movie plots, perhaps the most common being the LA Detective who works with the LA prostitute. Cute maybe - the first many times you see that, and boring at some point. The plot here, which I will not give is more than action. It is an interesting premise that I found quite interesting. After a while in this movie I was really wondering who was who and who was on what side. So for my tastes, a great plot meets great acting. That is by itself a very great start.
But adding to that is action, action and more action. To be sure, some of it was let me say ... amazing which might imply above normal belief, but of course that much is Hollywood. Without some amazing things, perhaps we would think movies did not do enough for us. I saw the action as adding quite nicely to the comments I made about a great plot and also exceptional acting. So for me, this was by far one of the better movies of its type that I have seen in a long time. I hope others enjoy it as well.
