Based on the comic by Mark Millar & J. G. Jones.

Starring: Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Terence Stamp and Thomas Kretschmann.

Directed by: Timur Bekmambetov.

Looks ok, nothing spectacular tho....

Well, this does NOT look like what the comics are apparently about at all. And after Crank and Shoot 'Em Up, this movie looks to pale in comparison. Seriously, if I made a movie like this, it would look more Peckinpah-influenced than Wachowski-ripped, no bullet time, no Angelina Jolie, etc.

Seriously, it looks like Uwe Boll had his hand in remaking Remo Williams, and I can't think of a better comparison for this. I can't be the only one who thought this looked straight out of Dr. Toilet Boll's ass.

Yeah, that trailer and the comic couldn't be further from being connected to each other.

This basiclly looks like Matrix-lite.

I don't know anything about the comic but I love me some Timur Bekmambetov. Those who had seen Night Watch/Day Watch should have expected the trailer to look like this. I think it looks like a blast.

wow looks pretty cool. Angelina Jolie looks great.

I don't know anything about the book, and movie looks totally and completely miscast, but still pretty damn cool.

Ewww. Looks pretty damn bad.

When is Morgan Freeman gonna get out of his rut?


Also Night Watch was about the biggest piece of crap I've ever seen so I have very little hope for this.

I recall how incredibly awful the comic was (particularly the shit ending where Mark Millar basically slapped his readers in the face), so not much interest in seeing this.

I also thought the comic was terrible, even not being a fan of the comic, I find it annoying changing the film to "assasins" instead of about "villains".

The only thing worse to me than Angelina Jolie in a movie, is Angelina Jolie performing any kind of action, I just cringe all over hearing her spounting lame dialogue & pouting all the time, so that plus Morgan Freeman playing the same character he always plays, & the fact that my brain can't handle watching any more movies with slow-motion bullets in them anymore. This isn't even worth a rental.

suprised on the negative comments, I think it looks pretty cool and I like Angelina Jolie in these type of roles.

I agree with Sessa. I'm really really tired of Jolie. I don't get the appeal of the lips look and find her to be a strain in any film I've seen her in. I thought the comic was meh but this looks simply awful.

It looks like Timur found a good make-up artist for Jolie. This is the first movie in which Angelina Jolie is overall made up nicely, looks hot and nothing physically awkward about her:

Gia: skanky looking
Bone Collector: bad dyke hair
Girl, Interupted: skanky looking
Gone in 60 Seconds: awful dyed hair
Tomb Raider: crazy fake pokey boobs
Tomb Raider 2: crazy pulled-back scalp hair
Life or Something Like It: crazy Maryln Monroe look
Alexander: well, she looked like a queen (i'm mainly talking temporary)
Sky Captain: well, not bad with an eye patch and military outfit
Mr. & Mrs. Smith: too conservative/plastic-looking in this one
Good Shepard: not into 1950s look
Mighty Heart: looked good, but was physically playing someone else


I haven't seen Beyond Borders, Pushing Tin, Taking Lives, or Original Sin to comment.

She looks way to skinny in this to be hot

Loved the comic but the movie appears to have very little of the same meaning.

I can just imagine a straight translation of comic-to-film and seeing the message just ZOOM right past everyone's head.

There are very few Russian directors you'd expect a good movie from. Timur Bekmambetov is definately not one of them. Night Watch/Day Watch were enough to realize that.

Taking Lives is the movie she looks the best in.

What about Hackers and Pushing Tin? She looked pretty hot in both.

So what was the message of the comic book?

Right there with you.

This is just the teaser, im sure Timur has got a lot of visual eye candy he ain't showing til ya see the movie.

This trailer didn't do anything for me.

That looks horrible... Too bad I like Freeman, at least he has Gone, Baby Gone and the Bucket List to redeem himself this year.

Hmmm...I think it looks pretty good.

This Russian director sure knows how to do visual effects work. Night Watch was stunning, I expect nothing less from this one.

Ugh...
