                          'YOUR LIFE CHANGES WITH EVERY BREATH"

Samantha Caine[Geena Davis] , who is suffering from amnesia is leading a happy and simple life with her boyfriend and adopted kid .A car accident changes her life altogether as she starts to recover her past slowly, which seems to be mysterious and dangerous.All of a sudden she finds assassins surrounding her, in pursuit of killing her.She starts to recollect some very proficient skills as if she was well trained for it. She decides to know the truth about her past and the often recurring dreams and so she embarks upon a dangerous route that ends up in a sphere of espionage and homicide.
     She takes up the company of a small time thief Mitch Hennessey[Samuel Jackson] and try to dig up her past and her actual identity but it seems too complicated and full of foes who had already pronounced her dead.Her resurrection seems to give herenemies lots of stress and anxiety that they want her back in grave soon.She gets to know her actual identity soon and she was known as  Charly Baltimore,a dangerous assassin for CIA designated to kill Luke[David Morse]and his associate Timothy[Craig Bierko].The plot failed and she was considered dead in that operation.As times changed, old foes turned friends and Charlys surprise comeback send tremors for both CIA and their recent friends Luke and Timothy.
     

     Samantha, now has to transmute to Charlie ,for her survival and transformation to a deadly assassin once she was is the most exhilarating part of the movie.Mitch gives her good company and support  through out her mission to eliminate her threat and to save the country from a  dangerous plot they were planning.Mitch with his good humour sense and loyalty helps Charlie all the way through risking his own life and their association makes the movie a great watch.
     The movie resembles a lot like a James bond movie and if you like spy movies with some humor and mass scenes then just grab your DVD'S now.Samel L.Jackson,such a wonderfully versatile actor perfecly fits into his role.He handles both comedy and action to such perfection that no wonder why he is the one of best actors of our generation.Geena Davis looks good with her action skills and a special mention required for Craig Blerko as Timothy.The movie is so fast paced that it wont drag you even for a second.Your logic has to be compromised sometimes but the makers have done enough to blend humor enough to disguise it.For Indian views it is more like a Bollywood mass masala flick with better technical excellence and better execution.
   If you want to get thrilled and laugh at the same time you can watch this  exciting edge of the seat action thriller with your family.
   I am Deepak Unnikrishnan and I will be back with another movie from my nostalgic collections tomorrow.

TIP OF THE DAY: ALL WE CAN DO IS TO TRY TO MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR PAST AND LEARN FROM IT.
