Oh no, the computer’s wires crossed again! Thought this movie reminded you of anything? Maybe it was
Teeth clenched, knuckles white, sitting on the edge of the seat, and eyes glued to Shia LaBeouf, I mean really, this movie was hot (in more ways than one). Shia as a twin doubled the hotness factor. Call me bias, I love the former “Even Stevens” star turned action hero. He was totally convincing in his role as Jerry Shaw. The sarcasm, the laid-back dude with no real aspirations, I get it and it worked. He even managed to sneak in some comedic lines (nice break from all the fast paced, blood pumping scenes). The audience (female, anyway) also couldn’t help feeling bad for Jerry Shaw. He just didn’t seem to be getting the love he deserved, and he was constantly fighting to get out of his brother’s looming shadow.
Shia’s co-star, Michelle Monaghan was praiseworthy as well. Forgettable at times, but she pulled her own weight. I felt her character was a little too dependent on Jerry Shaw, and she could have been just a bit more heroic for the sake of her son. Like hello, your son’s train could be derailed, grow some chest hair and save him. And we can’t forget the lovely Rosario Dawson or Angelina’s ex-beau. Though I must say,
And did I mention, the creepy kid from “Mirrors” was in this movie. Yeah, little Cameron Boyce played the son of Monaghan’s character. Much different from his role as the boy talking to his reflection, this time around he had a more cheery disposition and stayed away from creepers.
I highly recommend this movie for anyone in the mood to be entertained. You can see this movie with anyone. So, get up and go see it already.
