Terrific action film, very smart and exciting. It took me a while to get into Jeremy Renner as an action hero - he's really not good looking or charismatic enough - but he does have a sad eyed quality which works for the role and he grew on me. As if to compensate he is given very strong support: Rachel Weisz is beautiful and does wonderful things with a role that isn't that deep; Ed Norton is reliable as ever as a very believable baddy (motivated by a desire to clean up mess rather than world domination).
Some top ideas - the pills Renner needs to take to keep smart, a work place massacre - and others not so good - a key baddy introduced too late in the day, an ending that lacked a comeuppance for the baddies - plus some thrilling action scenes.
