A Very Entertaining Movie

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2008)

To start off, I just want to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and the ideas used in this film were very creative and visionary.
The action in this movie is fast-paced and keeps your eyes glued to the screen. As I said before, the ideas and the way it was directed is so creative and unique. I hope to see more stuff from Timur Bekmambetov in the future. I especially enjoyed the scene close to the beginning of the movie where it shows the guy on the rooftop who gets shot with the sniper from an insane distance. It was cool because it basically went back in time and showed you where the bullet came from and shows the bullet shedding its casing; I thought it was very cool the way they did it.
James McAvoy was the perfect leading role for the film; he sold his role very well. Morgan Freeman was very good (as always) as the leader of The Fraternity; he almost reminded me of Morpheus from The Matrix. Angelina Jolie was good in her role as Fox although she wasn't in the film too much.
Overall, I thought this a very entertaining movie and worth going to see on a Friday night with some of your friends.
