$76 Million to make this Pile of Garbage

Rating: 1/10 (18 January 2008)

Unbelievable that people and film reviewers can actually be conned into believing, or try to con us to believe, this is a decent film.
The story is nonsense and the actors are total hams.
The plot, so called, is set in future Britain where after some kind of holocaust the hero of the film has to save the only mother with a child left in the world. To save from exactly whom and why we are never really told.
So we basically have sight of acres of slum Britain which in fact ain't the future but is the current state of most of the place now thanks to the likes of Thatcher and Blair. Don't believe what you see in tourist brochures as the country has a vast underclass exploited by a minority. And ruined by the lax immigration system and high taxation.
Much of the film shows people running around rubbish dumps,with explosions going off and considering the budget for the movie is given as 76,000,000 US dollars, well someone has more money than sense.
The actress playing the pregnant woman is an amateur or gives that impression and the performance by Michale Caine as an aged Hippie is total farce. That "artist" must be laughing all the way to the bank once again.
1/10
