Amusing and action packed.

Love this film for the stunts, the action and dare I say it even the storyline.
Its probably definitely more of a guy film if there is such a thing, but Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie sold the movie.
James mcavoy did a good job acting the role however his near constant girly screaming through a good portion of the first half really irritated me. I felt that was overdone somewhat.
I did love the revenge scene on his cheating girlfriend and best mate however.

Movie Favorite

"I’m a film school nerd, so I’ve got about a hundred favorite movies. I’d feel like I was cheating on all of them if I narrowed it down to five movies. But con man movies I can do. In no particular order, I guess the first one I’d name is Paper Moon, which, for me, is just a perfect film. It’s also one of the first con man movies I saw that was less about the mechanics of plot and more about the relationships between the characters, and this father-daughter relationship, which is really beautiful. Just a pretty wonderful movie."
