Paris-born Leterrier comes from the school of 'let's keep the camera moving all the time' and 'let's use a crane shot wherever possible'. The screenplay Boaz Yakin & Edward Ricout (from their story) and Ed Solomon is quite fun with ingenious moments ("I've been following myself!") and a double -twist or two, though without really giving our characters any depth. It's a bit like a computer game really.
It's an engaging cast though of Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg (I'm really getting to like him a lot), Woody Harrelson, Mélanie Laurent, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Michael Kelly and someone called 'Common' (a rapper, actually Lonnie Rashid Lynn).
It's enough to green light it in this shallow age.
