A new low!

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2008)

The most surprising aspect of this movie is that Morgan Freeman would lend his talents to such a bomb. Filled with gratuitous violence and based on one of the silliest plots ever devised, this movie somehow manages to be boring and revolting at the same time. The film makers seem to believe that there is some correlation between entertainment and the amount of blood smeared. James McAvoy (a good actor) has his character subjected to numerous beatings any one of which would easily kill a normal human being. He survives by seemly dipping his head in white chocolate and then lying in a cold water bath. Angelina Joli who has a proved record as an actor seems bored through most of the movie even while she is inflicting brutal punishment on McAvoy. Although almost every character in the movie is alternatively a villain and then a hero, the real villains are the producers of this lame excuse for a film.
