Not aimed at me but.....

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2012)

I have only just gotten round to watching this film and although I am not it's target audience (I'm 64) I just loved it. James McAvoy proves his versatility as an actor (I have yet to see him in two roles that are alike) and he carries it off with aplomb. Jolie is as drop-dead gorgeous as ever and I was delighted to see Marc Warren (Hustle) in a supporting role. The only jarring note, as he always is for me, is Terence Stamp, who seems unable to deliver any line convincingly , no matter what the role may be. Luckily Stamp has a very brief role in this. The action is pretty relentless, mainly physically impossible, but truly imaginative and really exciting.This is the sort of movie where you check your incredulity in the minute it starts - if you can do that you are in for a treat. my wife hated it but it is a boy's movie definitely. I would like to see a sequel if it could be done as well as this.
