If Only The Movie Had Concentrated On Griffin
16 February 2008
As I sat and watched this movie I realised the fundamental flaw with it and that was the fact that Griffin was a far better character than Davey which is a pity as Davey is the main character. Jamie Bell is wonderful as Griffin and the movie comes to life whenever he is on screen. Pity about the two main leads though. Special effects and action sequences are fine but the whole thing could have been so much better.The climax is worth seeing though at times confusing. Liman presents us with a great looking movie but one that is empty of emotion thanks in part to a boring lead actor.

Just lower your expectations and you will enjoy this movie only to think about what might have been with a movie centred on the Jamie Bell character. Maybe if there is a sequel they might rectify matters.
