I thought it was fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2011)

This is certainly one of my favourite action movies in recent years.
It's pretty clear from the commercials that they're targeting a largely male audience and from that standpoint, it doesn't fail to please. There have been many recent movies that are clearly targeted at the female audience such as the Twilight series, Red Riding Hood etc... so we've earned this one ;)
First of all, I was thoroughly impressed by the sets and attention to detail. The level of originality is extremely high with lots of mixed technologies and eras.
The sound track was absolutely spot on. It's rare to find a score that fits and actually intensifies the various scenes.
Sure, the acting was pretty poor to average, but was frankly just about what I expected. Despite that I found that I cared about some of the main characters and found them quite interesting.
The story is pretty open-ended and leaves you to make your own mind up about much of what transpired. The transition scene from asylum to brothel is a little abrupt though and leaves you somewhat displaced for a while.
Overall, I got exactly what I expected and more from this film. Fun action, original scenes and some seriously hot eye-candy ;) Most guys around my age will definitely enjoy this title.
