I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

[edit]

Synopsis: Bruce Banner has an accident in the lab which unleashes something he never new lurked within.


Reaction: This movie takes its time getting to the meat of the story. The action is fine, but it's a bit too little too late. It also tries too hard to get philosophical.


Personal Rating: 6/10
