Story: A retiring assassin, Henry Brogan, finds himself pursued by a mysterious killer that can predict his every move. Discovering that he's being hunted by a younger clone of himself, Henry needs to find out why he's being targeted and who the creator is.
Likes: I honestly wish I could say this is a great film considering Will Smith is a great charismatic actor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clive Owen and Benedict Wong tried their best to give a Good film, which some of the action scenes are good, the acting is pretty solid in places.
Trouble is this film could've had so much potential to be a great film, it just ended up being a pretty Poor scripted film, that was an OK film but not what it could be, which is why I feel this film could have been better written for this cast.
Dislikes: The biggest issue here if you're not aware by now is who the story and writer is David Benioff ( x-men origins wolverine, the last season game of throne ) The story is very weak, predictable, the are a few moments where the CGI is so bad it actually takes you out of the film.
The fight scene, to be honest, felt unnatural like they had used CGI fight with an unnatural speed of fighter just looked weird on screen.
The plot of the film is weak and kind of goes nowhere, not to mention (spoiler alert) Junior switches side without any reason, it ends up in this less than poor climax battle that lends to know where, when these two characters could have been writen to storm a military base together and have an Epic shoot out instead this film really falls flat.
The CGI to make Will Smith Younger on the Clone looks horrible at times, not sure what the budget was because ive seen better De-aging in other films. To be honest I can't really see this film being a success in teh cinema feel more like a straight to DVD film than anything.
Overall: Predictable story, poor CGI effects, Poor scriptwriting. not a film to rush out to see.
Rating: 3.4 out of 5 for Entertainment / 6 out of 10 for Poor scriptwriting.
