Good storyline, poor delivery

Rating: 4/10 (30 June 2008)

I believe this might be an original storyline, but what can be stretched out into two, to even three stories, is crammed into one, 2-hour long movie. I must've thought the story could've ended on at least 2 sections of the movie, and pick it up later on with more development.
The also used elements from movies like Fight Club, Tomb Raider, and Matrix into this eye-candy, extremely bloody action flick, with not enough explosions, in my opinion.
They also spent way too long building the character of the main character and not enough time developing each of the other characters, which made all of the rest 2-dimensional. The casting was awesome and each star seem to fit well into their characters, but the script unfortunately didn't give them much to work with. Angelina Jolie gave her best performance in there, which is fun to watch if you're a Jolie fan.
The ending also didn't make much sense. It seemed abrupt and not well-thought-out, as Morgan Freeman's character did something that they were trained not to do. I understand that they were trying to give a frame to the movie, but the frame didn't make sense for what they're trying to accomplish.
All-in-all, this movie isn't worth the watch on the big screen, unless you don't seeing blood splattered for 10 minutes at a time.
