Welcome to the world of realistic fantasy- did I confuse you?Well but how else do I describe a roller coaster tale of action thrown amidst contemprary fantasy?This one can best be described as Transporter meets Matrix kind of movie. Based on a graphic novel, this one has James Mcavoy playing a bored accountant by day who hates his job and is considered as a loser.
One fine day his life turns topsy turvy as he gets attacked by an assasin and a diva ( Angelina Jolie) saves him ( ???). Now our hero is told that his father belonged to a age old ( 1000 yrs old) cult of assasins called The Fraternity & that the man who attacked was a rebel member of the fraternity who had killed his father.
Though initially he refuses to buy the story, he soon changes his mind & then decides to join the fraternity and avenge his father's death. Morgan Freeman playing the head of the cult and Angelina Jolie set him on an intensive training regimen before he is finally "ready". How the story unfolds from then on is told in a lightning fast fashion.
The pace always seems right & you keep asking for more even as the movie comes to a close.You never know this might just trigger of a new series of movies. I surely would love to see it.The action scenes are all powerful & imaginatively shot.The actors do their parts well & overall its a paisa vasool entertainer.Go for it.
Rating- 3.5/5
