• Wendecover

Not actually any surprises in the movie, but I enjoyed it. It came to my attention because of Anna Faris. She does a good job as usual, but of the four on the cover, her role is the smallest. Or at least it seemed like it. I also wanted to check out this movie, because of Teresa Palmer, who I only knew from "I am Number Four" beforehand.

A great movie with a lot of attention to details. And great use of cuts to create hilarious scenes.
I think it is one of Bruce Willis' finer movies. And also the other actors are great in it. Especially Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman and Chris Tucker.
