    • Trivia
      Because Alex Pettyfer was only 15 years old at the time of the film, he did not yet have a driver's licence, so the scripted car chase was changed to a horse chase.
    • Goofs
      When Alex gets his gadgets, he is told that a particular cartridge is a bug finder, but in his bedroom, he puts in the cartridge that is a communication device.
    • Quotes

      [Darrius Sayle is on a large TV screen in the MI6 Headquarters, giving an interview to the BBC]

      Alan Blunt: [pauses the video and stands up] We don't trust him.

      Alex Rider: Why not?

      Alan Blunt: Well, we don't trust anyone. It's sort of what we do.

    Exciting adventure!
    This film is about a young teenager becoming an agent for the secret services, after his uncle got killed while working as a spy in the secret services.

    Before watching the film, I thought that the lead character was called stormbreaker, but in fact it was the name of a computer! Anyway, the film is very good. We get treated with a lot of well composed martial arts scenes, car chases, missile launches and helicopter scenes. Throughout the whole film, the action continues and grasps the attention of the viewers. Towards the end, I got so gripped with what is about top happen that my palms sweated! The plot is great, not very believable but not outright outrageous. The story flows seamlessly and is exciting. The James Bond style gadgets are interesting and not too ridiculous. However, I find the plot twist at the very end too artificial in the sense that it too obviously creates a room for sequel.

    This film is exciting and provides great entertainment!
