No Special effect, just old fashioned movie making

If you like fast paced action, special effects, and over the top thrills, you will find this movie slow and even boring. I agree that this is more like a Hitchcock movie. The setting is so gray it could have been shot in black and white. The acting is excellent and cast well. This is a movie you have to keep on top of. I know if I saw it again I would pick up all kinds of plot devices I missed the first time around. It is suspenseful as a political thriller and has enough twists to keep one guessing even if you think you have the plot figured out. I appreciated this film as a clasic form of film making.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Robert Downey Jr. gets some real action!

I love Robert Downey jr. and have been rooting for his success ever since his role as Charlie Chaplin. As the Iron Man, Downing experiences an epiphany of sorts which is certainly timely in this political climate. From cynicism and sarcasm to hope and the triumph of the human heart and soul over evil, this is an everyman's tale filled with, action, humour, and great performances and characters. It is great fun with lots of extras like clever robots who steal many a scene. It is enjoyed best with friends, a full audience, and a great theatre for sound and screen. This will become a classic Adventure/SciFi/Fantasy. Hopefully the inevitable sequel will be just as brilliant and uplifting.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
