Anyone seen this?
I thought the idea for it was pretty good.... but not as executed as well as it could have been. After watching the film, it seems as though one of the writers spoke up one day and said "hey, how cool would it be if we had heroes who could curve bullets!" and it seems like the whole film was written around that idea.
Also, some of the scenes went past believable and just went into wank territory.
Apart from that i thought it was entertaining enough. I think the story would make an awesome video game myself...

I saw it a few weeks ago with mates and no sooner had the credits rolled up did i think to myself, "what a ****in waste of my time". Utter pish IMO.
The story, as i saw it, was just Mr & Mrs Smith all over again, just with bendy bullets. And i'm not saying that because Angelina Jolie was in both, it just reminded me so much of that film, only worse and more far-fetched. It was way to over the top at times, like the directors / writers were just so desperate to make THE most action packed film of the year.

Tar mate, will probably watch this then even if it is wank. I like to see Homegrown acting talent making it big in America. Im even tempted to watch that bionic women thing that Zoe from Eastenders is in haha.

Sounds like one of those writer's moment... inexplicable.
