I use to live in Angel, Islington many moons ago, for a little while, loved it there. The Screen on the Green cinema was a nice cosy picture house, plenty of bars and restaurants and a vintage market place was pretty cool. The Tube station escalator is frightening though, its so bloody high, I think the highest in London.

Lol I can't imagine you being scared MrGlass.

I love heights and adrenaline rushes so the higher the better for me! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[prettyxcool]

oh, Mr Glass, we could have been neighbours!

Yep, you are right -not only that, Angel Tube Station is allegedly the longest escalator in Western Europe - 60 m (197 ft) long

Gosh I wouldn't want to fall down those escalators. If they are longer than the Canary Wharf ones, my back would be completely gone!

[prettyxcool]

yeah, I thought canary wharf were long!

I loved this film, it kept me guessing until the end, 90 mins felt like about 10 mins. I thought Angelina was good in the role, apparently Tom Cruise was originally going to play the part. I’m not usually a fan of Action films (I hated The Expendables), but this had the right mix of action and story and wasn’t over the top with the action scenes.

[spoiler]I thought they set it up well at the end for a sequel, I hope they make one.[/spoiler]


8.5/10.

Went to see this on Friday. I thought it was a competent enough action movie. Angelina Jolie was fine. The problem for me was the story which never really surprised me. The twists in the story were pretty easy to spot. The Russian sleeper spy/nuclear weapon plot also felt pretty dated (despite the recent news stories). Worth seeing but not essential.

I used one of my free cineworld codes to see this at Milton Keynes this evening (yesterday now). It was okay but that was all. I had expected a lot better from the reviews that I had seen. I thought it started off really well and I liked the lorry chase with Angelina jumping from lorry to lorry before getting away on the bike. After that, I felt that it became somewhat mediocre and therefore disappointing.

Glad that I saw it, but will not be b*ying the dvd or watching it again on tv.
