Just Okay

Rating: 7/10 (5 July 2008)

First and foremost, I did NOT go and see the movie just because Angelina Jolie was in the film. Actually, that was one of the reasons why I wasn't jumping off the couch during the trailer commercials to go and see.
But husband and I went to go to the movies, and besides Wall-E en espanol, that was the only other one at our local theater worth watching. It is action pretty much from beginning to end. If you are into not a lot of talking, and more action - this is the film for you.
The characters weren't as well-defined as I would have liked. I love to see Morgan Freeman in bad-ass character roles - it's so out of the norm for him.
The curving of the bullets reminded me of the matrix, and instead of putting more unique action in the movie, it seemed that this movie was ALL ABOUT curving the bullet.. I mean they kept doing it over and over again... Enough already!
There is a really cool scene where Jolie is using the new military rifle that shoots around corners.. very nice - I just seen that one on future weapons.
Other than that, the story line is a bit cheesy. She is all gung-ho about "The Fraternity" but really, no ONE person made the movie.
Overall, I give it a 7/10
