Action, wit and brains!

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2006)

What a brilliant film. Full of fun, wit and fantastic action with some brains.
I've seen nothing like it.
The script was good. The acting pretty decent, (Hugo Weaving was fantastic) and the choice of music sublime. (You'll be singing a long to the 1812 Overture when it's finished with a smile on your face).
The balance between action, storyline and dialogue was perfect...something the Wachowski brothers failed to do in the last two Matrix films.
First time director James McTeigue did a great job at setting the pace and keeping it going.
Original and stylish it will get my vote every time.
