    You do get to see a nice long shot of her entire back portion of her body, no frontal nudity though.

    just lots of blood and killing really. Saw it earlier today, great effects and presentation... transparent plot (but hey! I didn't go for plot :)). Also there was a continuity issue that bugged me, but I'm betting most missed :p

    Does it have Shoot 'Em Up's level of random blood and gratuitous violence?

    Almost, it really picks up the blood levels towards the end which reminded me of Shoot 'Em Up... but for the main course of the film, it is showing off the special effects that they stocked up on.. with a second course of blood and violence.

    Saw it yesterday. I gotta say I was a lot more impressed with the movie before I found out it's based on a comic...

    still enjoyed it, though. Not going on my top 10, but definitely not terrible.

    Why do you want to know if Taka's GF is getting naked?:rolleyes:
     
  12. I had very low expectations and was happily surprised.
    Blood, gore, language, sex, its all there.

    Sounds like a winning movie to me
     
  14. One of the scenes (I don't want to give anything away) really made me feel like they were trying to give one of the final scenes in Equilibrium a run for its money.

    It came very close (in my book) but I don't think anyone can ever top Preston when it comes to gun play.

    I saw hancock and it was ok, will smith did a very good job acting in it i think. It was actually kind of funny the whole time, and i wish there was more action scenes though :(

    Can someone give me a synopsis? IMDB's one line bullshit is too vague.

    Run of the mill office jockey Wesley is one day abducted by Fox (angelina jolie) and brought into this assassin's league to bring down a rogue assassin that is bent on destroying the fraternity of assassins, which is where everything starts to go wrong.

    That's about the best I can think of without spoiling too much... because it doesn't take a lot to spoil the thin plot. Most of the time is spent with convincing Wesley to join and training him, the rest is just fighting from one plot point to the next. Go see it if you like bullets that act more like 3 stage rockets and special effects.
