Genre: Action/Adventure
Starring: Alex Pettyfur, Bill Nighy, Alicia Silverstone, Sophie Okonedo, Mickey Rourke
An MI6 agent is spying on a multi-millionaire who is planning to launch a supercomputer in every school in England. He is killed while he is on mission and his nephew Alex (Pettyfur) is assigned the job. Alex secretly underwent training during his adolescence by his uncle in order to prepare him for this day. Darrius Sayle (Rourke) has invented the Stormbreaker, a computer which when installed in every school would change the history of education. MI6 does not trust him and his motives and Alex is sent to find out exactly what is happening. The story is plain dull and boring, something which even its posters reek of. Destruction of the world is an old and overused plot and doesn't enlighten anyone anymore. The movie tries very hard to replicate a junior James Bond and fails hopelessly at it. Over-exaggerated stunts and trying to be witty during very intense moments doesn't help much to increase its appeal. Performances are wasted especially Bill Nighy's and its best to not say anything more about the movie.
Thumbs up: Certain action sequences
Thumbs down: Plot, acting, stunts, an endless list
Rating: 5.1/10
