awful, complete waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (3 January 2009)

I do not know where to start with how bad this movie is. The premise of weavers forming an elite group of assassins is about as realistic as bakers forming an elite parachuting group because the writing was "in the danish pastries". It tries badly to emulate the Matrix and Fight Club and ends up insulting both. Lets start with the main character, a dull insipid little man with seemingly no control over his own life whose dad was an elite weaver/assasain and left him when he was born (probably because he was embarrassed by the sheer mediocrity of his offspring). Then there is Angelina Joile as "Fox" poorly written and acted with no apparent explanation of her actions, she just wanders around looking cool until she shoots herself in the head (thank goodness). Morgan Freeman used to be one of my favourite actors until he starred in this film. Special effects and big bangs do not make a movie and I hope that everyone in this film never makes another one. Truly awful I would rather rip my eyes out than watch this again.
