Brainless fun

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2008)

This movie makes no sense. Holy sh*t is it fun!
I don't read graphic novels. I generally don't like movies made from graphic novels or comic books.
However, I have a powerful ability to suspend disbelief. And this is the greatest suspend- disbelieve movie of 2008.
Angelina Jolie is named ... wait for it ... Fox! With a twist of the wrist, bullets fly around corners! A fraternity of assassins that is a thousand years old has discovered binary code! Total losers are really heirs to the fraternity! By being constantly beat up, your assassination instincts will emerge and you can shoot down bullets aimed at you with your own bullet! And you can enlist an army of exploding rats as your personal army! And the best way to invade the castle of your enemy is to run in and grab the guns dropped by people you have just shot!
What's not to love?
I like it that action movies are moving into absurd territory. People might see themselves in The Godfather. Nobody will see themselves in Wanted. Unless they are insane.
