I thought this movie was very well directed and was done out in the action packed explosive way it was meant to be done. The cast was superb, the switch from Italian to Irish for the Camerlango made him seem more interesting and the Assassin was just very cool. I was upset however that they changed much from the book. I understand that some things must be cut for time sake but certain very small details should've remained the same. I also agree with the other reviewers who mention the ending being dissapointing(because it was). But besides the small flaws this was a very good movie. I highly reccomend it and the book.
