James McAvoy continues his winning streak

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2008)

Like other dweeby action stars before him (Toby McQuire, Ed Norton & now surprisingly Robert Downey Jr.) James McAvoy continues his ascendancy in the Hollywood firmament by becoming an action hero of all things. Supported by A list actors like Morgan Freeman & Angelina Jolie - he is in good company. But make no doubt about it - this is his movie & he carries it off even though the movies seems like one long car, train, bus chase. OK there is a plot of sorts about a Fraternity & some father/son issues but basically this is a cartoon comic book that is there to fill up our summer hours. I would have liked a little more sex & a little less violence but all in all it was a pleasant enough movie going experience. But please skip the sequel - spare us.
