Summary - Good 3.0
In this sci-fi romance, we find out how a love-struck politician (Matt Damon) handles the knowledge that a mysterious dark-suit and hat clad bureau is trying to keep him from the object of his desire (Emily Blunt). Once again, we have a Matt Damon movie with an interesting sci-fi premise. Even though the sci-fi part was not as complex or interesting as it was in Inception, the blend with a good romance was unique and entertaining. Good story, good action, and decent acting – definitely worth the DVD rental fee.
Acting - Very Good 3.5
Matt Damon is as you’d expect – dramatic, passionate, and well suited to this action packed film. Emily Blunt showed less range than her co-star, and perhaps didn’t seem like the right fit at times, but it did work fairly well. John Slatery (from Mad Men) was good as the middle-manager of the men in hats.
Male Stars - Very Good 3.5
Female Stars - Very Good 3.5
Female Costars - Very Good 3.5
Male Costars - Very Good 3.5
Film - OK 2.5
The sci-fi was kind of cool, e.g. the need for a superior organization to save humanity from itself by keeping it on a master plan. But the fact that they go around wearing suits and hats, and work in a 30’s era office building is a bit cheesy.
Direction - OK 2.5
Dialogue - OK 2.5
Music - OK 2.5
Visuals - OK 2.5
Edge - Risqué 1.7
Sex Titillating 1.7
Violence Fierce 1.7

Circumstantial - Supernatural 3.8

Regarding Wick’s Review
I was apparently in a very kind and charitable mood when I wrote my review….
