I havent read the source material [again] although I am tempted from what you guys are saying, could probably pick it up quite cheap.

I really enjoyed the film, watched it last night. It was fun, not that engrossing but really good action fun with a bit of story splashed in. There were some good moments when he hit back which were really exciting, as most of the film was come to think of it.

My problem is, don't hire a scottish actor to play an American. I don't know where the character was from in the book but James MacAvoy has a very distinct accent, which he dropped for an american on in this film, which left me unnerved most of the way through. But they did keep that kid from Hustle with his propper accent.

As for Fox, her role wasn't all that big in the end, she was there but didn't really do much. that includes looking her usually stunning self, normally she steals the screen in this film there was 1 maybe 2 scenes where this happened.

What won me over in this film was the sheer ammount of out and out action. Good gun fights, good car chases, good fist fights, good rat fights, generally good effort.

It fills me with joy and hope that you enjoyed this film, hell i enjoyed Tomb raider and Resident Evil for some of the very same reasons.
But...

and an American actor as a Brit, yes?
mind you if its a good actor it shouldn't matter what nation they are from.
although it would ne difficult passing off Forest Whitaker as the leader of the Klueless Kluking Klan Laughing
