A gripping Ride. Absolutely outstanding

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2008)

An absolute adventure to simply watch. The cinematography and directing make you feel as if you are there, a spectre watching the events unfold without actually interfering with it. Provides just enough time between action sequences to let one take a deep breath, which is soon lost in the dive back into the post-apocalyptic nightmare of 2029.
Character development is done at such a superb level, they seem real; most specifically Clive Owen's and Micheal Caine's. Despite the short "real-time" in which the movie takes place, the characters mature in a fashion which seems to take a lifetime.
Additionally, the climax's ultra-long shot only increases the level of chaos one would feel if in such a situation; what a ghetto would feel if it was indeed being violently occupied by an ultra-fascist military force.
