Quotes:
[first lines]
Wesley: [voice-over] It's my anorexic boss' birthday. This means there's a certain amount of inter-office pressure to stand around the conference table, eating crappy food and pretending to worship her. Acting for five minutes like Janice doesn't make all our lives miserable is the hardest work I'll do all day. My job title is account manager. I used to be called an account service representative, but a consultant told us we have to manage our clients, and to not service them. I have a girlfriend who I neither manage or service. That's my best friend Barry fucking her on an Ikea kitchen table I picked up for a really good price. I'm finding it hard to care about anything these days. In fact, the only thing I do care about is the fact that I can't care about anything. Seriously, it worries me. My name is Wesley Gibson. My dad walked out on my mom when I was seven days old. Sometimes I wonder if he ever looked into my baby blue eyes and asked himself "did I just father the most insignificant asshole of the twenty-first century"?

Most of the people on IMDb are really bashing this movie and calling it nothing but blood, bullets, and naked women. That its completely boring and has no good action.
I just have to say this:WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? C'mon. This movie has top-notch action,interesting and complex characters, amazing and realistic special effects, great casting, and an exciting twist at the end.
James McAvoy is pretty good, but the real stars are Anjolina Jolie and Morgan Freeman, who are constantly gripping through the action sequences.
In my opinion, the only thing wrong with this movie are two much slow-motion in the action parts, which mildly ruins it.
So for all of you people bashing this movie. I gotta say: YOU PEOPLE MUST HAVE NO GOOD TASTE.
