I made up my mind two months ago for watching this movie the very first week. Trailers were simply superb... Assassin concept, Mind blowing stunts and to add more Angelina Jolie in her full action... After Tomb raider series, I think this movie will give more fame for action sequence perform by Angelina Jolie.... I was waiting for this movie to release and me to go, grab seat and enjoy the action-filled movie....
I choose this movie over HANCOCK (Will Smith) as a superhero just bcos of its human connect with assassin, action, etc.. which i could not related with superhero powers, extra ordinary, strength, etc... to do so in normal human life.
Movies starts with the note addressing to audience about the "Fraternity" who kills people to save world or say assassain people (killing one person can save lives of thousand). They have very ancient godly way of figuring name of person who becomes their next target.
Welsey (lead actor) shown as loser in office, loser in life (as his best friends sleeps with Welsey's girl), loser in everything.... It is when Angelina Jolie (part of fraternity group) meets him at grocery shop and then starts the fighting sequence with Mr. Cross (another main character of movie) (unbelieveably brillantly excecuted action sequence).. Be it at gun firing sequence in grocery shop, chase between car and truck, action sequence, the way Jolie drives the car (though few scenes are animated) still it hold your breath and makes you excited...
Morgan is head of fraternity group and wants Welsey to be part of it. He test him by making him to shoot wings of flies.. Welsey cannot hold gun but then on gun point, he manages to shoots off wings of several flies.. he wants to be away from all this (blood, killing, assasaination, etc) but then next day he found fortune (around 3.6$ million) in his bank account and then the boldly fire back to boss.. quits his job, hits his friend with keyboard.. showing his friend blooded tooth coming out... and while leaving broken keys shows message of "F**K YOU"...
Welsey goes under to intensive training (real blood shedding punches, knife cuts, etc). Each day he is made to sit tied with chair and get blows, punches till he feel down unconscious, then he goes for knife fight where he is really gets cuts badly.... really it is reallllllllllllllll blood shedding training to make him tougher and stronger for more will power.....
After the traning completes, Morgan gives him the first assignment from FATE OF LOOM (The Loom of Fate, a loom that gives the names of the targets through a binary code hidden in the weaving of the threads).. Welsey first hesitates killing his target.. thinking that why should he kill him without knowing what he did or why he did, etc.... but then Jolie narrates her childhood story where a fratenity member failed to assasain one person which resulted to death of her father in later days....
Story till here is smooth going and fine.. real excitement starts when there comes a twist, sharp U turn in story road line.... Cross who is behind Welsely is actually his father and wants Welsey to be out of fraternity group.... and welsey is under impression that Cross is professional killer and is behind welsey to kill him.... Welsey is trained and brought into group by morgan and jolie because Cross wont backfire or say attack his own son hence he is plotted against father... there is amazing and wonderfully executed scene where train falling down into valley and all these truth is revealed by Jolie (who is again accompany Welsey to kill him; as soon as he kills Cross)...
Welsey escape from train and fall into river valley and decides to destroy whole fraternity group and origin of the place.... he comes up with wonderful, rather say brillant idea to destroy the place and then attack.... Morgan with his fraternity members encircle him at gun point and there is where another twist revealed that morgan comes up with all fraternity members name as next target indicated from "Fate of Loom".. all are shocked, surprised.... Jolie fires such a way that bullet travels in circular manner and goes through every member head and finally same bullet goes to her head.... Welsey is out of revenge but by that time Morgan fleeds from scene...
Next scene was like Welsey is back to work... i thought "oh no, not again for that poor guy".. but it was plot set for Morgan to come and Welsey kills him by firing bullet from miles away (same as his father does CROSS does in the beginning of the movie)... THE END>.....
Plot, action sequence, twist, story line, subject are all appreciable but only one thing that did not digest me was the bullet firing technique.. though it may work, but still couldnt digest (specially the circular fire in the end of the movie killing all fraternity members in one shot.. it bypasses our Rajnikanth style... i hope Rajnikanth have not seen this movie.. else god will also wonder what will his unpredictable, unbelievable, nature defying stunts to come. ).... You will enjoy the bullet sequence too just because of the direction been shown and way it is being shot... Direction is more than perfect...
Overall i would rate this movie as three and half out of five stars... Movie does not bore you, keeps u excited, action sequence (be in train, car, bullet, anything) is executed brillantly... moreover i know u guys.. angelina jolie is back with action stunts.... "GOOD MOVIE" "MUST WATCH"
Nice!! Keep it up
