Factual errors: On both killing orders shown in the movie is a statement starting in big letters "I Hereby Acknowedge...” which is an obvious typo. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Wesley: [voice-over] It's my anorexic boss's birthday. This means there's a certain amount of inter-office pressure to stand around the conference table, eating crappy food and pretending to worship her. Acting for five minutes like Janice doesn't make all our lives miserable is the hardest work I'll do all day. My job title is account manager. I used to be called an account service representative, but a consultant told us we don't even manage our clients, and to not service them. I have a girlfriend who I neither manage or service. That's my best friend Barry fucking her on an Ikea kitchen table I picked up for a really good price. I'm finding it hard to care about anything these days. In fact, the only thing I do care about is the fact that I can't care about anything. Seriously, it worries me. My name is Wesley Gibson. My dad walked out on my mom when I was seven days old. Sometimes I wonder if he ever looked into my baby blue eyes and asked himself "did I just father the most insignificant asshole of the twenty-first century"?

Why this movie has such a high rating I'll never know. The plot of the film, albeit based on a comic, is ridiculous and stupidly far fetched, but if you like that sort of thing then ignore me. But even as comic book based films go this is by far one of, if not the worst I have seen. The film is hyped by the high profile actors who do their best with the poor script, but they obviously didn't accept to do this movie for the script!
Sure there's some good action, but there's so many better films out there that offer good action and overall better entertainment. If you want to watch this film solely for Angelina Jolie, don't; go watch Gia instead.
And in response to "Best action movie I've seen in a long time": ahem: Die Hard 4, Transformers, Indiana Jones, Bourne...etc
