Trivia:
For the Russian dubbing, many Russian film stars from Nochnoy dozor (2004), Dnevnoy dozor (2006) and Ironiya sudby. Prodolzhenie (2007) took part: Sergei Bezrukov for James McAvoy, Galina Tyunina for Angelina Jolie, Yuri Kutsenko, Valeri Zolotukhin and others. The Russian dubbing script was written by Sergei Lukyanenko. moreGoofs:
Continuity: Just before Wesley and Fox jump over the roof of the train for the first time for training, Fox is wearing high heel boots. After they jump, Fox is wearing flat boots. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Wesley: [voice-over] It's my anorexic boss's birthday. This means there's a certain amount of inter-office pressure to stand around the conference table, eating crappy food and pretending to worship her. Acting for five minutes like Janice doesn't make all our lives miserable is the hardest work I'll do all day. My job title is account manager. I used to be called an account service representative, but a consultant told us we don't even manage our clients, and to not service them. I have a girlfriend who I neither manage or service. That's my best friend Barry fucking her on an Ikea kitchen table I picked up for a really good price. I'm finding it hard to care about anything these days. In fact, the only thing I do care about is the fact that I can't care about anything. Seriously, it worries me. My name is Wesley Gibson. My dad walked out on my mom when I was seven days old. Sometimes I wonder if he ever looked into my baby blue eyes and asked himself "did I just father the most insignificant asshole of the twenty-first century"?

For shear entertainment value, this is one of the best movies of the summer of 2008. Over the top action sequences reminiscent of the Matrix will blow you away with their creativity and tongue-in-cheek excess. It is visually rich with the visceral grit of Fight Club. You HAVE NOT seen anything QUITE like this before. There's plenty of originality here. This is a film I'm looking forward to watching many more times once it comes out on DVD. In fact, I may make this my first Bluray disk. This is a WAY better movie than Batman the Dark Knight--one of the most overrated films of all time. I would gladly pay full price to see this movie again before I'd waste my time watching Batman again for free.
