Henry Brogan is a DIA sniper that retires from government service. When he does, he notices that he is being monitored. When a friend of his gives him some information, the DIA decide that Henry is an lose end. Henry is now on the run. A clone of him is sent to eliminate him. Can Henry stay alive and clear his name?

This was an interesting film. I am on the fence of if I like it or not. There were parts of the movie that are awesome and other parts that had me scratching my head. The highlight of the film was the partnership of Will Smith, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Benedict Wong. I would watch a movie with just those 3 running around doing missions. They were that interesting. But the other parts of the film seemed like a weakness in the story. Cloning, but for weaponization? If something that awesome were to exist, it would be a ethical worldwide dilemma. In the end, I would recommend this movie for the action and the partnership storyline.

I got this via T-Mobile Redbox promo.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - 吸血鬼獵人:林肯總統

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (吸血鬼獵人:林肯總統) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Benjamin Walker. The supporting cast include Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Rufus Sewell. The movie is based on an 2010 novel of the same name.



Walker plays Lincoln. When Lincoln was a wee lad, he was a worker for a mill where his parents are killed by vampires. Unable to prove vampires, he grows up and finds a mentor willing to teach him the art of killing vampires. However, Lincoln still wants to change the world around him through the political system and eventually becomes president. When a vampires try to take over, Lincoln must come out of retirement and take them out!

The movie is absurd in its premise that Lincoln was any sort of vampire hunter. But it is a great concept that is embraceable since Lincoln is often ranked among the greats of US presidents. I did and I really enjoyed the movie. I'd watch it if it was on cable again.
