Review: Eh, about average I guess. The story is yet again about people with special powers which is getting a bit tiring, especially when the abilities aren't that cool (and some of them are downright annoying). The written dialogue is of slightly less fluidity and intellect than I would like to see as was the direction and editing. However, there are two reasons to check this flick out: the setting and Dakota Fanning. The movie was set in Hong Kong, which is always a visually appealing and interesting place for a movie with it's cool night clubs and open marketplaces. And one thought kept going through my mind throughout....our little Dakota Fanning is growing up! No longer is she the pure picture of innocence (like in Dreamer or I Am Sam). She has now shown the ability to give a bit of edge in her characters and has successfully broken through to being a legitimate actress. All of this said, I would personally wait to rent this movie as opposed to seeing it in theaters if I were you, but do what you want, I'm just an online movie critic after all. :) . -JNJ
