A very good movie carried without problems by Ewan McGregor and the spectacular Scarlett Johansson. And it is probably the first worthy movie directed by Michael Bay. I can’t count Armageddon or Pearl Harbor, you must understand. Spoilers coming…
Not so many years in the future, a corporation has secretly built a huge complex in which they, against all laws of genetic treatment, can have under control a population of conscious clones with the mental maturity of fifteen-year olds –I felt very identified myself, I must say-. Two of them manage to escape, and are merciless pursued to death by a special agent –Djimon Hounsou- and by the president and creator of the Merrick corporation itself, role played by Sean Bean –it would be good to see him someday playing the good guy, for a change-.
A movie that deals with very complex issues, just like the ethic treatment of genetic engineering, the all-seeing and manipulative Big Brother, or even the right to live. Sadly, the movie soon falls into a frenetic pursuit mode and forgets all of those issues. Like on all the other Bay’s films, the more explosions, crashes and frantic camera movements, the better.

Ah, Scarlett Johansson. Is there a more beautiful woman on the planet? )It's a rhetorical question. The answer is, of course, no.)
Well, she's definitely beatiful, and her face is kinda... peculiar. Very expressive. Indeed, she's one of the prettiest faces on earth. Not to despise her, though, but give me Laetitia Casta. Now that's THE woman
