FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1 Talk about escapism. This was just a very entertaining piece of film. Fun plot, fun performances, fun all around.
2 I always love a good heist. I love it even more when they reveal how they pulled it off. Luckily this film does both.
3 I don’t know why but I really liked the background score. It was cool and kept me in the story the entire time. Great job Brian Tyler (Iron Man 3, Expendables)
4 I don’t know why but Leterrier seemed to employ the Michael Bay ‘swirl around the hero’ shot a lot. It made me giggle.
5 There is a love story tacked on for no good reason. Would rather see more ‘heist-ing’ thank you very much.
RECOMMENDATION: Pretty fun for the theatres
UPCOMING REVIEWS: Man of Steel
