Aeon Flux (2005)

The Perfect World Meets The Perfect Assassin

Based on an MTV cartoon. Quite entertaining. Good concept and set design. The technology in use was quite cool: telepathy pills, body enhancements. Charlize Theron's minimalist acting was OK for her character, though that made her rather icy in demeanour. The action sequences were fun. I didn't predict the twist ending, thought it was going to be more like the Matrix.

Pete Postlethwaite in a sort of caterpillar costume was pretty ridiculous.
