logic?what's that?

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2008)

if you go into this movie,expecting logic and/or realism,you will be disappointed.it has almost neither of those elements.nor is it original.what it is,however,is wall to wall action,with death defying stunts and explosions galore.the acting is adequate,though it doesn't really mater here,as it(and everything else)takes a back seat to the spectacle.however,i will say that the casting of Morgan Freeman was a very inspired choice.you get to see him in a role quite different than usual for him,and you get to hear him say words you wouldn't normally hear from him.James McAvoy plays the hero,and does a flawless Shia Labeouf impression.Angelina Jolie plays a prominent role,and Terrence Stamp has what is pretty much a cameo appearance.as for the movie itself,it is intense,loud,and frenetic and there is one plot twist i didn't see coming,though most people probably will.anyway, found it to be a fun waste of time,thought not really memorable.8/10
