Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTony Scott and Curtis Hanson were attached to the movie in the '90s when Disney was producing the movie. Because computer effects were not advanced enough at the time, the studio cancelled the project.
- GoofsSince Will Smith played both characters they have an identical accent. This is a common error in fiction with clones -the clones of Jango Fett all speaking with his accent, for example. Since accent is not a genetic factor but is influenced throughout a person's life and develops based on environmental factors it is impossible for these two characters to share an accent so perfectly. The same is true for personality, likes/dislikes and moral imperatives.
- Alternate versionsThe Indian theatrical release received some verbal cuts (4 cuss words) before being given a U/A rating. An anti-smoking disclaimer was also added.

Featured review
I was lucky enough to be invited to a premiere screening of the film, in 60fps and in 3D (been a while since I've seen a film in 3D, and the framerate was distracting in very few scenes).
It's a technical feat. Young Will Smith is probably the best looking CGI de-aging effect I've seen in a film (until the last scene). The cinematography was also really well-done, there are some interesting shots, especially one panoramic shot of a train whizzing by. And shots hold for much longer than the typical action film, often showing impressive long-take shots. The action is tense, with hard-hitting fight choregoraphy, as opposed to the "cut away" style many modern action films go with.
Will Smith, both young and old, delivers a very good performance as assassins struggling with their identity & place in the world, albeit in very different circumstances. The plot takes a bit to kick in to full gear, but once it gets rolling, it's a thrilling ride some minor speed bumps.
All in all, a solid Hollywood action film, it's no masterpiece, but very enjoyable.
