But when his father is killed, a mysterious associate named Sloan (Morgan Freeman) arrives, offering Wesley the chance to fill dad's shoes. Mentored by Sloan's deputy, Fox (Angelina Jolie), Wesley carries out the will of the mythological Fates, who see Wesley's targets in a magical loom. Quote: "I'm finding it hard to care about anything these days. In fact, the only thing I do care about is the fact that I can't care about anything. Seriously, it worries me." -Wesley Gibbon My Thoughts: If I didn't love James and Angie so much I would never have watched this movie. It's very exciting and has an interesting plotline but there were to many bizarre and impossible stunts. Not to spoil the ending for anyone but if you want a sunshine and roses ending, pick a different movie. |
