Actors: Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware,
Zachary Quinto, Ciarán Hinds, Thomas Kretschmann, Angelababy
Rating: 8 out of 10, I guess this is
based on a popular video game of which I am blissfully unaware, a signature
difference between baby boomers and millennials. Since this movie was about a
bio-engineered super assassin there was the attendant carnage but it was
practically bloodless, despite the state of the art CGI splatters. I liked the
two lead actors, especially the title character. He was supposed to be an
emotionless automaton but he was a good enough actor to add a bit of character
which made him likable. Young Spock showed up to suck up bullets and knife
thrusts in true Hero fashion. Despite the body count, this was harmless fun and
I enjoyed the ride. Just check your need for a greater meaning at the door.
MVP: Friend in the title character
role as the almost humorless assassin
