OK, so the film won't win any awards for cinematography or dialogue but, man it does blow your mind for an hour and a half! It is full of ridiculous set pieces, really implausible stunts and a baby in a bullet proof vest!
The basic premise is quite interesting (can't give too much away as there won't be a lot left!) but, in essence, the plot involves a lot of shooting, bad guys hitting the dirt and an anti-hero that's easy on the eye!
The female lead will give the guys something too look at and the bond that is formed between the baby and Mr. Smith (Clive Owen)is quite touching. At times it seems almost incredible that a baby would sleep (let alone live) through half the set pieces, but by putting your 'reality check-o-meter' to the side, it makes it all enjoyable again.
Paul Giamatti as the lead baddie is probably the most credible thing in the movie and provides a lot of the laugh out loud moments when dealing with his minions. He is obviously enjoying the part and is overzealous in line delivery and portrayal but who cares, it's not reality...
All joking aside, you should have a good time while watching this film. You've been warned not too expect too much and if you go in with your eyes open, then you'll be pleasantly surprised...
