A very realistic dystopian vision that just 'clicks' if you've lived in London for a while.
While a pessimistic vision of the future is presented here, the movie plays for entertainment... It plays on themes prevalent in our post 9-11, post Iraq world, and it pushes the correct buttons to take intelligent england-based (specifically London centric) movie goers for a ride with enough precient themes and details to entice involvement.
The background scenario is cleverly bereft of overly-simplified expliantion - rare in the Hollywood model.
The cinematography is raw, convincing and seemed to me to be highly accomplished.
I'm not a film critic, but I thought the acting was great and the set pieces harrowing and realistic.
brilliant movie.
