The Big Bang (2010) 7/10

Starring : Antonio Banderas, Thomas Kretschmann, William Fichtner, Sienna Guillory, Delroy Lindo, Robert Maillet, Sam Elliott
Director : Tony Krantz
Running Time : 102 mins

Ned Cruz (Banderas) is a private detective who is hired by former pro-boxer Anton Protopov (Maillet) to track down a woman named Lexie Persimmon (Guillory). His investigations lead him to an eccentric billionaire called Simon Kestral (Elliott), a man who is obsessed with recreating the Big Bang, and Cruz starts to doubt if Persimmon ever truly existed or if Protopov made her up.

For a movie I’d never heard of, this was pretty entertaining. Granted, the ending is a little hokey, and I can’t listen to Banderas anymore without thinking of Puss In Boots, but fans of thrillers will enjoy this, even if the ending gets them saying ‘What the hell?’, especially if they haven’t been paying attention to the actual Big Bang part of the plotline.
