Interceptor

Yeah, it's bad. Worse than it looks. It's a shame - it had potential to be a decent actioner. 

Elsa Pataky does action well. She's buff, with guns bigger than Portman's newly endowed Thor-ess biceps. Pataky is Chris Hemsworth's wife, and he makes an amusing cameo, which is one of the best parts of the film. And the action is decent, especially the gruesome coup de grace Elsa delivers. 

But it gets muddled in plot - too much talky talk and character development, which ultimately doesn't lead anywhere moving. And action films are in a weird state trying to appeal to a divided audience. I think that's my angle in to this story. 

I'm scheduled to interview Pataky on Monday. She's in Australia.
