You seriously must be kiddin' me

Rating: 6/10 (26 July 2008)

What I have to say won't occupy much space and time, as well as this flick does not occupy many neurons. I realise that most of the viewers will say that this is an action movie and it does not need to pack too much, but seriously now... We have Angelina, who has less lines than that bitchy boss, so that makes me consider she was placed there for her fame and beauty. Then, we have Freeman, a nice voice and character for the all-knowing boss... And, a bunch of thugs, each good at a particular job... Oooookaaay, and there's the plot: your dad was the shiznit, so you must be exactly like him, start taking hits, and throwing bullets like you were born being this science-fiction super shooting hero. The entire movie seems to be exaggerated, and the only thing that made me watch it until the end was the fact that i was really expecting something. But then again... So, you must be seriously kiddin' me with this story line... I'd like to believe that the script was made during that famous script-writer's strike, cause it smells like "roses" big time. And oh, yeah, use Jolie and Freeman on a title, and, of course, the audience is guaranteed, but what about the quality? This reminds me of movies like 88 Minutes or Simone, who had Pacino written almost as large as the title, for... hmmm, i don't know... maybe publicity?
