Age of Heroes (2011)
6/10
Unfortunate undeveloped story and cast
27 June 2011
I set out watching this movie with minimal expectations given that many war stories typically revolve similar themes. The beginning of the movie all the way through to the mid sections surprised me with strong character plays and development from Sean Bean and the revolving cast. The story line while not new, managed to capture my attention with good acting and keeping the story on the go.

Unfortunately as it nears towards the end, the story seems to have been "chopped off" with a somewhat quick ending to a nicely built up story. I believe this could have been better done with a proper ending to the story.

Good acting though.

Smart, Thought Provoking & A touch of Heart
27 June 2011
The only reason why I caught this movie was because my cousin watched it twice and told me to catch it, and to tell him what I thought after the movie.

Being a Matt Damon fan only in the Bourne series, I was surprised by the remarkable performance in this movie. Multi talented, he delivered on all fronts with strong acting.

The plot of the movie while not very complicated, invokes thoughts and questions into life and how we are possibly watched by 'guardian angels' through life. A smart delivery of many important attributes of life packaged in a romantic storyline. Also how our little actions may change the course of our life, leading us in uncharted waters. A pursuit of what society deems is right or what are our hearts and passions tell us to do.

This is a great show though perhaps not Oscar category but watch it for it's great acting, a light hearted love story and a post movie digest of one's life journey and our dilemmas.
