Based on the best selling young adult adventure series of books by Anthony Horowitz, "Stormbreaker" is a family movie about a kid who becomes a young James Bond. Alex Rider (Alex Pettyfer) is 14-year-old orphan who has been unwittingly trained all his life by his uncle (Ewan McGregor) with the skills to become a secret agent. After his uncle dies, Alex finds himself forced against his will to take on a dangerous mission for the British secret service and attempts to stop the evil mastermind Darrius Sayle (Mickey Rourke) from releasing a biological weapon via his brand new, high tech Stormbreaker computers.

Possibly the worst book-to-film adpation, but a good movie in it's own right. The casting of Alex is perfect. However the casting of other characters, such as Alan Blunt are awful. It is a good film overall.

by Derek Elley [Variety]
“..a pretty-boy hero who isn't that interested in being a spy and saving the world..”
by David Mercier [FilmJudge]
“..a lame and disappointing affair..”
by Ray Bennett [The Hollywood Reporter]
