Non stop action and great fun!

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2008)

I expected this film to be the type of movie that showed the best bits in the adverts and left you with nothing but filler to watch but I was wrong, from the first few minutes the film had action and it never seemed to stop. Jolie makes killing look easy and cool(not sure that's a good thing in real life but hey this is film and fiction after all) McAvoy did a good job with US accent and was far better at the action than I expected. If you're looking for heartfelt drama or Oscar worthy acting don't go to see this and then moan, this is a film for people who like to go the cinema and just enjoy themselves and yes it's far fetched but so what it's loads of fun too.
The last few times I've been the cinema I've come away disappointed, the films I saw were either garbage or I could have enjoyed just as much sitting at home on DVD(and paid less for popcorn) but films like this were made for cinema, they are loud, fast, overwhelm the senses and are hugely entertaining. This is the type of film I'll end up buying on DVD to watch again and again when I want a film that I can switch off to and just thoroughly enjoy.
