WANTED a better storyline, but still fun.

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2019)

James McAvoy brings a dynamic performance as Wesley Gibson, making it all too believable that he is merely an office worker bee. I think this movie really hits a chord with anyone who has ever had to be a "grinder" or a desk jockey. I know for me, as I watched this movie unfold I so desperately WANTED to find myself in Wesley's shoes. I think he's a character that almost anyone can relate to, perhaps not always but at least once in your life, you've been a Wesley.
The plot of the "Fraternity" is definitely out there and is where this movie takes a big hit in terms of my rating. I just think, "textile works used binary code to figure out who should be killed?" What?! Does that seem absurd? Well, that's because it ABSOLUTELY IS.
The saving grace for me with this film is the incredible CGI and the extremely inventive action sequences, I found myself in awe of the ways they portrayed some of the shooting sequences. I loved this movie secretly, but couldn't get past a train-wreck of a plot.
