Not my thing Nick, t'was the hound asking about 'action'

Did watch another very good film yesterday, The Man From Earth. As soon as l can figure out a review that doesnt spoil the plot l'll post it.

Watched another film over the weekend, Wanted.

Ok, first to get Nicks bit out of the way. There is a little 'action' (sort of) but there is a scene with Angelina Jolie getting out of the bath that would probably appeal to you.  ::)

Ok, basic plotline is that a nobody suddenly find out that he is the son of an assassin and has abilities that border on the supernatural. Over the course of the film he discovers who he really is and how to use his abilities to deal (as well as an interesting way of dealing with rodents. If you ahve a warped sense of humour - so thats most of you on here - and you dont like rats then it will appeal to you).

The look and style of the film is very similar to the matrix, car chases, shootouts on topof/in trains and it all goes on at a decent pace. If you want to watch an action film that doesnt need to be thought about much then this is worth a look.
