A good movie

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Michael Bay. I mean, his movies are usually entertaining but also always disposable trash but, somehow, I always end up watching his flicks because, I have to confess, they are usually fairly watchable. Anyway, tThis movie was actually a flop, at least compared to his other blockbusters but it is, in fact, the best movie he has directed so far. As usual, you have the big special effects and stunts extravaganza but I never minded those and Michael Bay knows how to blow things up, you have to give him that. Above all, what I liked this time, is that the story was rather intriguing. I mean, it is a rather standard plot about cloning, and, honestly, they didn't give much new insights about the subject but it was definitely entertaining and more interesting than you average Bay feature. Of course, the casting of Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson as leads for an action flick was an interesting move, even though Johansson didn't have much to do expect showing off her pretty face. On the other hand, I thought that Ewan McGregor was, as usual, really good and he gave a decent performance. So, even though, Michael Bay wasn't rewarded by the box office, I think it is actually his most interesting and entertaining flick and it is definitely worth a look.
