CINEMA: Megaplex 13 at the Junction, Ogden, UT
AUDITORIUM: 11
PRESENTATION: 35mm/DTS Digital
PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: The people behind me smelled
RATING: Three stars (out of four)

WARNING: "As long as Belicoff is alive, they'll be looking for Spoilers."

THE PLOT: An assassin kills a guy. Or not. Then he befriends a hooker and drives a cool Audi. Wackiness ensues. And violence. Wife #1: "I love gratuitous violence." Actually, she was the one who wanted to see this. She was not disappointed.

Any movie shot in Europe with heavy use of Audis and Sony Ericsson phones is probably good. And probably a spy movie of some sort. Apparently, in order to understand the ending, you have to have some familiarity with the video game. My familiarity with Millipede was of no help.

There's actual breasts in this film, which probably makes the Greco factor high.
