Saoirse Ronan is, as usual, exquisite in this Action film that starts off strongly but loses its way.
Boasting a strong cast including Eric Bana, Cate Blanchett, Tom Hollander, Olivia Williams and Jason Flemyng, you would expect this Crime Mystery to have enough weight to be exciting and to hold your full attention to the end but unfortunately this is not the case.
Cate Blanchett along with Ronan is fantastic. She creates subtle idiosyncracies for her characters that make them totally real, believable and gripping.
The Chemical Brothers provide a fantastic score which will undoubtebly one of the biggest selling soundtracks of the year.
I'm avoiding slating the slightly boring plot because I did actually get a large amount of enjoyment out of the film owing to terrific acting displays. Having said this, the setting and quirky directing approach from Atonement's Joe Wright make it entertaining for almost the whole duration. Fight scenes are precise and gripping so overall I would reccommend but brace yourself for a sag in excitement.
