4. the special effects were cool and the premise promising...
I didn't like the torturing of the hero and Morgan Freeman being the bad guy...ugh.

5. It started strong enough
but a weaving machine? Nah

and the climactic scene was kind of disgusting if not farcical, never mind all the other headshots. You can get AIDS that way!

6. lol, I'm at that scene now
i can't imagine PETA was particularly happy about McAvoy's little army, lol. the repairman sure had a sucky way of dieing. The weaving machine is no more believable than the bending of bullets around trains and Angelina Jolie.

7. I can't believe (spoiler)
Edited on Sat Jan-17-09 02:29 AM by DS1
that Morgan Freeman agreed to have a CGI bullet fly through his head.

but we got to see Angie's backside, and wow it's a nice backside
and the train scene was pretty cool

9. I heard he wanted to do different roles
he was supposed to die in another movie (i forget which) but his death scene didn't go over well with the test audiences so they changed it.

And yes, Jolie has a very nice backside, too bad that's all we see.

11. Thank you.
I saw it a few days ago and thought the same thing.

I thought it was a rather nifty little movie.
