| Automatic starts off promisingly and keeps getting better. The story is predictable, but it's a good one and done very well. Jeff is wonderful as the leader of the assassins. You can really believe his character enjoys what he does. He also gets more screen time (yay) than the average bad guy, but he never over acts or "scene chews." He also doesn't appear ineffectual or stupid like most movie bad guys. (That is left to his soldiers. I guess good help is hard to come by in the mercenary biz, too.) I like this movie and I like Jeff in it. -- songbird | |
