Comic book, ahem ... graphic novel, movies have been popular recently. Superperson, Batguy, Greenlamp, ... and so many others. This movie is something in the area of Elektra meets Aeon Flux (the animated one, not the movie). Not quite as dumb as Elektra and not quite as bold as Aeon Flux.
The world has become divided between humans and "infected" human-like beings. I don't remember what they called the infected, but the point is that the normals want to get rid of the infected. It starts with isolation and it becomes eradication.
Please keep in mind that this is a live action cartoon, so to speak.
Violet is given a mission to steal the weapon that will be used to kill off all of the infected. She succeeds with her mission. The weapon is a boy who has some sort of chemical compound in his blood that when atomized, it could be used as pesticide for the infected.
Lots of action. Lots of computer generated images. Lots of nonsense. Just what the doctor ordered. If you remember that this is a comic book brought to life, then you will enjoy this movie. I know I did. And if you had a heart, you would too.
This is by no means a movie to rush out and purchase, but not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
I give this movie 3 out of 5 hermetically sealed handguns.
