If you’ve got: a) Angelina Jolie b) eighty million dollars c) the film’s main gimmick — "curving bullets," then couldn’t they really have come up with a plot more inventive than ***a sewing machine that rules the world and orders assassinations? ***And there’s something off about Jolie too — she’s skinny, scary-looking, and silent the whole time. Looks like Russian cinema got her at a discount — she was juggling the shoot with drug rehab. Or maybe her love for children from the Third World has worn her down. People always talk about starving children in Africa and fat Americans. Here it’s the other way around.
