Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2011)

Just as the stunts in this movie defy logic, so does the plot and the characters... Based off of the comic Mark Millar and J.G. Jones the movie makes little sense in and of itself, but none- the-less is enjoyable.
The movie starts off briefly explaining the fraternity, and shows the death of one of its members and then quickly shows us the lead character Wesley (played by James Macavoy) explaining to us why his life sucks. His girlfriend is a b****, his best friend is a jerk, and his boss Janice constantly induces his anxiety attacks. While purchasing his anxiety medication he is confronted by a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie) who claims that someone is trying to kill him, and then in the middle of the store engages in a gun fight, and takes Wesly on an insane car chase. His is brought to the fraternity head quarters and told that his father was a member and that Wesley's destiny is also to be in the fraternity as well.
This movie has excessive amounts of profanity, and although it does not cite this in the newspapers, some nudity (You see most of Angelina Jolies back side as well as a mans butt). It is funny that if it is a guy, it isn't considered nudity... Hmmm Well, the violence is also excessive, but it is not on caliber with a horror film in that it shows some gore, but not explicit details. It primarily has a lot of blood splatter shots, and no real detail like brains or diembowlments.
The acting is as good as you can expect it to be in this type of movie since the twists the plot takes make no sense, nor do the choices of the characters make any sense. It is the wish- fulfillment qualities of this movie; such as cussing out your b***** boss and smacking your a**hole friend with a keyboard that makes it remotely satisfying. The action is first rate, and as long as you are not bothered by excessive profanity and violence, then this will be an enjoyable movie for you. Just do not think too much or the whole movie will unravel, this isn't the type of movie that has to make sense, it is merely here for eye candy, both in visual effects and Angelina Jolie.
