Biting the bullet

Rating: 4/10 (1 August 2008)

You go into a movie like this expecting to attempt to suspend beliefs as you know the movie is a fantasy. The writers however forgot that you need to do some level of convincing for the audience to buy into the fantasy.
You have this super secret society of assassins that can run faster and jump farther than is humanly possible. These assassins can react faster than a cat. They can bend the path of a bullet.
You assume they are doing these things with their minds. There telekinetic, chi, force, etc...
No explanation is given. Just a mention of the "gift".
The worst explained nature of the movie is how this super secret society is using looms to communicate their assassination orders. They actually have guys who with the aid of a magnifying glass, look at the threads of a sheet of cloth to determine messages sent from God knows where on what person they are going to whack.
Don't these guys have the internet or some drop off box? More devious would be some code written in personal adds for instructions.
**Spoiler below** I do like how we have a twist in the move where we find out that the assassin's target is actually his father and the person who he thought was his father was a cold hearted killer.
The end of the movie was just a downer. We find out the main villain was given instructions to kill some of their own and so he decided to disobey the orders coming from the Loony Loon and assign his own targets. I mean, the man had a point didn't he?
