appalling and totally unbelievable

Rating: 4/10 (30 July 2008)

This film is definitely for teen boys who fantasise about angelina jolie and guns and all that stuff. I may almost fit this category but this film didn't convince you in any way to take it seriously...which is what it tries not to do. Despite this whole assassin story with a father son revenge thing (how original!), you could hardly call this entertaining when so many things are ridiculous. James Mcavoy may be trying to get into mainstream movies but this really doesn't show him off very well. This feels like a matrix film and aren't we all sick of that by now? Morgan Freeman plays another pointless role as that figure head guy who looks out for everyone. Yawn..and it is totally unconvincing. None of the characters really haev any substance. The ending, (which i wont reveal) is not a very convincing one at all and leaves you feeling more stupid at the end. It is more of a direct question to the audience that Mcavoy asks 'What have you been doing lately?' Not worth your money.
