1. I was expecting a good shoot ’em up action flick and I got it.


2. Speaking of it. Helen Mirren has got it. I’m not sure exactly what it is, but she’s got it.


3. My favorite scene involved Byung-hun Lee, a gorgeous blue Lotus and Helen Mirren.

4. The cast was stellar. Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins, Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow from the G.I. Joe movies), Catherine Zeta-Jones. stellar.

5. Anthony Hopkins was wearing what looked like a felted scarf. Other than that, there weren’t really any knits to speak of. There was a lot of fur. I guess it is easier to hide guns under a big fur coat than a knit wrap. That’s not really news.
