I ended up having tremendous fun throughout this film, enjoying the high-octane non-stop action and the heart-thumping music and the fast, swirling camera work -- but afterwards I felt hollowed out and kind of aggressive. T'husband said, "I feel like assassinating someone" and was cantankerous all evening. Ultimately, it is an empty film, and I am still puzzled how they can give a 12A certificate to something so mindlessly violent and a 15 to Troy.

But I did like Karl. This is the sexiest Karl yet, and I'm totally coming round to [livejournal.com profile] azewewish's position that the short hair is dead sexy. He is such a mean, rangy sex machine in this film, and he speaks Russian (probably in an execrable accent but I can't tell that, *g*).

But the surprise of seeing Marton!!!! This comes from not following fandom news any longer: would you believe I had no idea that Marton Csokas was going to be in this?! I nearly fainted with delight.

So what with the rangy Croat (?) to one side and the smouldering philtrumed Magyar to the other, I hardly knew where to look.

Oh, the convos:
"Hiya, Marty. You here, too?"
"Yeah, Karl. Remember the Xena days?"
"Oh, and loved your wig in Rings."
"Ditto, Karl. Come for a beer?"
"Why not just come?"

(all of this in thick NZ accents -- *pokes tongue out at [livejournal.com profile] blythely)

if you're a pervy Marton fancier, you should check out XXX if you haven't seen it already - he plays a russian.

and i posted some 'bourne supremacy' production stills a while ago; i don't know if you saw them - only Karl, no Marton.

Oh, I suffered through XXX with my finger glued to the FFD button but Marton was *swoonsome* in that. He was drop-dead sexy-hot.

Um, yes.

I couldn't quite compute that it was Matt he was fighting with. I kept seeing 'bodily contact' and flashing Karl into position.
