I didn't really know what to expect. I was just taking my children (ages 5,6 and 10) to a kids movie. It was a too long for children. But for the most part after you established the characters you were in to the plot. The cinematagraphy was definitely different. THERE IS SOME INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE FOR CHILDREN. It is not necessary to use those words to make the point. BUT we actually cheered at the end of the movie. The fight scenes were great. And what can I say...anything with Matthew Fox in it can't be bad at all!
