Don't listen to the stupid whiners

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2008)

This is a decent action movie with a plot that probably wouldn't withstand an inspection lead by an academic committee--or even a wannabe film nerd out to slag any movie that even remotely dares to be "cool" or "hip." It was entertaining, it was violent, it had a relatively likable character for whom you develop empathy, and that ugly dog-faced creature, Jolie, was not typecast as some kind of "sexy" femme fatale, save for a brief shot of backside nudity which awesomely displayed her bony upper body.
All in all, the comparison to 'The Matrix' was accurate (nobody realizes he is 'chosen'; slow-motion bullets), the car stunts were good, and the acting refrained from treading into silliness, like many action movies tend to do.
Recommended for non-pretentious people who can enjoy a movie for what it is.
Don't mind the stupid whiners.
