The film contains a plethora of thrills,chills, murders, revenge and outlandish cliffhanger situations abound. Packs noisy action, thriller and lots of blood and violence. The rate of events mingling suspense, humor,tense happenings are enhanced by extended length of hunting scenes and occasional flashes of brilliance, in special the spectacular pursuits and breathtaking train chases, including derailment.There are abundant assassinations with some creative moments wrought from heavy stylistics and plenty of comic-books and Matrix style.It succeeds in building intrigue, tension, some of comedy and cool performances. Worth it for for terse script plenty of turns and amazing twist end.
Splendid writing credits by Michael Grant, Haas and Morgan based on comic book series by Mark Miller and Jones. Exceptional musical score fitting perfectly to action by Danny Elfman and appropriate cinematography by Michael Amundsen. The picture is well directed by Russian director Timur Bekmambetov. He was hired by American producers(Gary Barber, Silvestri)after his foreign hits(Night watch I and II), though previously had been contracted by Roger Corman(The arena). Rating : Good and entertaining.
