# I tend to agree. Angelina was skinny and covered in tattoos, while the
whole story consisted of gratuitous violence and brutality.
The plot has a major twist, similar to "Entrapment", but the idea of
Assassins being judge, jury, and executioner, is a bit far-fetched if they
are supposed to be "doing good"; restoring order out of chaos.
Tough luck if you bump off the wrong person. And the whole American
gun-culture thing gets another boost - if you have a problem, with someone,
or even your own Life Style, then gun-toting is the answer. Make my day!
