What's up with all the ZERO comments? This deserves a TEN.

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2009)

My pop (who saw it first and highly recommended it to me) was blown away by this film, and so was I. Now I'm gonna get the Blu-Ray version. Not to mention the dynamic musical score by Danny Elfman, this movie pulls you in from the first scene to the very last. Well-paced transformation of the protagonist from dweeb to super-assassin. A movie about breaking out of one's mundane every-day mold, and taking revenge on those who deserve it. A Charles Bronson "Death Wish" for the new millennium, combined with a version of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" that actually works this time. Thought provoking throughout, I will never again think about the profession of the ordinary weaver in the same way.
