Inkheart stars the well known Brendan Fraser, Paul Bettany and Helen Mirren. But next to this star-studded cast is little known Eliza Bennett who, at some times, outshines her well paid co stars.
Inkheart is about a father who has the ability to bring things (people, money...weather) from books by reading aloud (they are called silvertongues). 12 years ago he read from a book called Inkheart and as a result the villains have come to our world with the intent of world domination, along with his daughter, one of the 40 thieves and a character from the Inkheart book, He must save the world from the clutches of the evil Capricorn played brilliantly by Andy Serkis.
All in all the film is executed very well with some very good cinematography and reasonably good performances and with a strong story to hold it up, the film does very well. My only issue i had within the film is that while Brendan Fraser has an American accent, his daughter has a British one (and since in the story the mother left when she was 3 this doesn't really work) however, aside from that i really enjoyed the film and was pleasantly surprised that there were no 2 minute monologues to solve the problems at the end of the film.
I rate this film 8 & a half/10.
