Movie Review
Grade: B+
Review by Nathan Samdahl (B+)
I agree with John Stewart's interview with James McAvoy, saying that this movie "should suck, but it doesn't." For all intensive purposes a story about a thousand year old fraternity of assassins who get their directives from a giant loom should not be good. Especially, when the background of the fraternity is only explored in a cursory manner and the story only allows for few and brief moments of character development.

FYI, its not "for all intensive purposes," the proper phrase is, "for all intents and purposes." One of my pet peeves.
