In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Hitman (2007)
An action film directed by Xavier Gens, based on the video game.
An assassin saves the woman who he is supposed to kill. He then becomes the center of a political plot in Russia involving Interpol.
This was just another action flick. Design meeting transcript:
designer 1: "Guns!"
designer 2: "Yes! Lots!"
designer 3: "You know what goes good with guns, right? Chase scenes!"
boss: "Sounds like we've got our next blockbuster here!"
I've seen this stuff before. Everything looks "Hollywood perfect" and the camera-work looks like the camera men all overdosed on amphetamines. Sell it to someone else, because I sure as hell didn't pay for it. I'm rating this o.k. because chameleons are envious of it's powers of blending in.
