A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

There is nothing redeemable about this writhing pile of cinema refuse.The plot is stretched so thin you can read through it.The action is so over the top ridiculously unbelievable that I actually laughed out loud several times during the movie.The acting is mediocre at best and by the end of the movie I just couldn't wait to walk away.

Let me start by saying that this film is a blast. I originally wanted to see this in theaters but the money was tight so I had to wait for DVD. I first saw this on my buddy's copy on DVD. He and I and another friend of mine really liked it.I found it original and fresh, you didn't essentially know where it was going and that was good, and it always surprised you in unique and interesting ways.The action scenes were awesome and fun to watch and it had a well made, well paced story that was easy to follow.James McAvoy is a very good actor and a great lead in this film. He is good in the latter X-Men films and a joy to watch.Morgan Freeman was awesome as Sloan, leader of the organization of assassins.Angelina Jolie was awesome as Fox, she was sexy, a little edgy and fun to watch.Overall, a really cool action film that I enjoyed. I give it a 6/10. I highly recommend it.

I really liked it.This is just a very good movie about the secret society of killers - The Order,whose members are able to see time in different perspective and to send bullets with a crazy accuracy.These people get names of their targets straight from a special machine.They think it's Fate that sends these names in a binary code form.Our hero,named Wesley - the typical looser,works as an accountant with a boss he hates,lives with a girl who sleeps with his best friend,and even though he knows about it,he does nothing.He is a looser and he understands that.And as it always happens in this type of movies,it turns out that he is not just a looser.He is told that he has a killer's blood in his veins,and that his father was one of the best killers in the world,until he was killed by a guy named Cross.And now,his aims to kill Wesley,finishing his work with Order.Put in that situation,he has no choice,expect for becoming a killer himself.His transformation begins in a special building,where he is trained by other members of Order,the other killers.They train him to shoot,to use knifes,and to take pain like a real man does.And when training is over,he has to face his worst enemy,using everything he has learned so far.But it's not that simple.The story is much more interesting than it looks.There are plenty good story turns,a lot of new discoveries every viewer is going to find out.The movie is not too long,and it's not too short.The timing is perfect,and all the movie you are immersed in process of watching.I agree,that sometimes,the movie is too naive,but it does what it should - it entertains people,by telling a very good and interesting story.There are a lot of breathtaking action scenes,that are really good,even though the budget isn't very high,and it was released in 2008!I highly recommend this movie to everyone without expectations.It isn't a perfect movie,it's just a good action based picture with a lot of nice scenes.
