 | | And although Harry is a more fantastical character, he gets to practice his craft in that most universal of settings – secondary school – while the ostensibly engaging Alex is taken out of his element and sent off to do stuff which most of us will never be able to identify with directly. |
 | | In Stormbreaker's favour, however, is a beautifully glossy look which shows us a London generally ignored by filmmakers – brilliant, modern, with its stunning river and skyline – the London we see around us every day. |
 | | And, notably for a bona fide British film, Stormbreaker, as directed by Geoffrey Sax, is untouched by cinematic coyness or clumsiness: confident without having attitude, it tells its story with a smile, happy to be a movie, feeling no need to apologise for not being a novel, a play, or even a television programme. |
