Quotes
Henry:
[to Junior]
Twenty-five years ago, Clay took my blood, he made you from me! The government chose me because there's never been anybody like me. He's been lying to you the whole time. He told you, you were an orphan, and of all the people in the world to come after me, why would he send you?
Junior:
Because I'm the best.
Henry:
[aiming his gun at Junior]
You are obviously not the best!
Junior:
You're just trying to rattle me.
Henry:
I'm trying to save you!
Junior:
I'm not you old man... I'M NOT YOU

Alternate Versions
The Indian theatrical release received some verbal cuts (4 cuss words) before being given a U/A rating. An anti-smoking disclaimer was also added. See more »
I was lucky enough to be invited to a premiere screening of the film, in 60fps and in 3D (been a while since I've seen a film in 3D, and the framerate was distracting in very few scenes).
It's a technical feat. Young Will Smith is probably the best looking CGI de-aging effect I've seen in a film (until the last scene).
The cinematography was also really well-done, there are some interesting shots, especially one panoramic shot of a train whizzing by. And shots hold for much longer than the typical action film, often showing impressive long-take shots.
The action is tense, with hard-hitting fight choregoraphy, as opposed to the "cut away" style many modern action films go with.
Will Smith, both young and old, delivers a very good performance as assassins struggling with their identity & place in the world, albeit in very different circumstances.
The plot takes a bit to kick in to full gear, but once it gets rolling, it's a thrilling ride some minor speed bumps.
All in all, a solid Hollywood action film, it's no masterpiece, but very enjoyable.
