Viewing Notes
Recent pawn store acquisition. Fun to revisit this very goofy movie from the early 2000s. The ridiculous bra Jolie wears throughout most of the film still sends me. Featuring Iain Glen of Resident Evil villain fame, pre-Bond Daniel Craig, and Jon Voight, Jolie’s real father, as her character’s father (ironically they share very little screentime, mirroring their real relationship).
This movie feels like it was made exactly when it was made and straddles the middle ground between even more bombastic comic book/video game movies of the ‘90s and what was to come with Marvel’s MCU films.
