The main male character does quite well with the role he’s given, and quite convincingly carries out his transformation from bored-with-life-9-to-5er into badass assassin. This is the first movie where I’ve really found Jolie to be the sex-symbol everyone’s been saying she is; however, I thought she was much more action-y and badass in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Freeman is so cliche in this movie that it almost makes me sick … can he PLEASE be given a role soon that casts him as something other than the mastermind or behind-the-scenes controller … PLEASE.

A movie about a natural-born assassin who can bend bullets’ trajectories, and a loom that fortells the future? Pretty damn supernatural.

  Terrific review Spaceghost! I was just polishing up my draft when yours came through. Now I think I need to polish mine a little more, so look for it tomorrow.
