Starring : Alex Pettyfer, Mickey Rourke, Alicia Silverstone, Bill Nighy, Sophie Okonedo, Ewan McGregor, Missi Pyle, Andy Serkis
Director : Geoffrey Sax
Running Time : 94 mins

Following the death of his Uncle Ian (McGregor), Alex Rider (Pettyfer) discovers that he was in fact a spy working undercover for MI6, and that he himself is now being asked to follow in his uncle's footsteps in order to uncover the dastardly plot of international businessman Darrius Sayle (Rourke), who they believe plans to take over the world through the introduction of a new computer system named Stormbreaker.

Not a bad little movie, though primarily aimed as a children’s version of Bond, this is still a reasonably well thought through film. Some of the villains aren’t particularly convincing though, and it’s difficult to tell if Rourke is wearing a lot of makeup or just looks like that now.
