Much to my surprise and dismay - I actually liked this film. First off, I went into this movie not even WANTING to go see it, and secondly, I'm not a huge fan of the action movie. I was pleasantly surprised. You're asking yourself, why then a "5"? Well, come on - of course this film doesn't have a good storyline - actually, I thought that was pretty lame - but the action scenes are great. Angelina Jolie found her role! She is every bit the action star as an Arnold or a Bruce. But come on - isn't it refreshing to see a woman play this type of role? There hasn't been a good action chick since Linda Hamilton in the "Terminator" movies (and then again, she was starring opposite Arnold!) Not knowing anything about the video game this movie was based off of, I feel that Ms. Jolie adapted quite well to this type of role. Cudos!
As a side note - the soundtrack rocks, especially with the new Nine Inch Nails song! |
