This movie was a huge disappointment. We generally enjoy Angelina Jolie in movies but this was just not good at all. If you like a huge amount of profanity and senseless violence then this movie is perfect for you. The story centers around a boring and dull accountant who suddenly finds he has talent to be a world class assassin. He is violently inducted into a secret society who carries out covert assassinations at the orders of a tapestry that is magically woven at a huge loom.
Believe it or not this is a coming of age story. The main character supposedly learns that he has value, because of his extraordinary talent, and turns his life around. This basic plot has been done and redone hundreds of time so there is nothing unique there. The extreme profanity, gross violence, and lack of any moral context just made the story completely unappealing. |
