Advantages: Good action, great script

Disadvantages: probably make a sequel which won't be very good.

Well writing this op is proving to be rather difficult. This is one of those movies that is best where you have no knowledge of the film or more realistically the story as it the script that is class, but its not as good as Seven though. So I?ll do my best to give as little away as possible. This film has not attracted as much hype or publicity as the other Summer blockbusters but in my opinion much better than any of the others, and the main publicity has been the extra amount Halle Berry received for her topless scene, guys its up to you to decide whether it was worth it. Well that is as much publicity as I have seen. I suppose John Travolta no longer has the box office drawing power as he used to, though his performance was outstanding. Vinnie Jones pops up in this movie playing his usual role and his limited expressions are replayed as per usual. The film centers on a bank heist and the clever scripts leaves you guessing at what is happening with twist and turns every where. The opening scene was bizarre but sets the tone for the film and is remarkably clever.

The action scenes are fast and furious with plenty of high octane pump violence on show. Although there aren?t as more as I would like, there is enough to keep the film rolling along and not detract to much away from the script. However apart from all the violence there are a few emotional scenes which aids in guiding me back to reality that in the real world you can?t kill for the sake of it and what price we?re paying for freedom. A few humourous scenes helps to dispel any queasiness from the violence. This is one of those films that is best scene at the big screen with classy sound systems as this definitely adds punch to the movie. The film is shot very well with the picture clean and crisp and the soundtrack punchy and racy keeping the movie going along nicely as well.

I don?t know whether I?ve given too much away already so I better keep this op short and just say g
et on down to your nearest multiplex and check this film out. Its one of the films of the year so far. Oh just one thing, Dell probably sponsored the movie by supplying the equipment, why does the laptop in the movie work when my can?t even do some basic things!!
