Ace reporter Polly Perkins (Paltrow) is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a large number of famous scientists, and connects this to recent attacks by giant robots on New York city. Enlisting the aid of her ex-boyfriend (Law), Polly sets off on an adventure in search of the missing scientists and the dastardly mind behind the kidnappings and the attacks.

This was a fun movie, just not particularly good. Despite looking very good, and having a very stylised look as well as an excellent cast, this was just a little too hammy for most people’s pallets and felt very strained and awkward in places.
