This movie is still born with a lot of emphasis on action and little story or character development.

Rating: 6/10 (22 August 2007)

This movie is an incoherent mess; both the story and characters are underdeveloped. At best it is an okay action movie. I went to see it because it was well received by the critics and it fit into my schedule that day.
P.D. James is one of my favorite authors but I was not motivated to read her book prior to seeing the movie because I am not fond of books about the future. However, just to understand what the movie was all about, I decided to read her book. I think this movie could have been so much better if more time have been spent on character and story development and less on pyrotechnics and guns.
Anyone wanting to watch this film on DVD or on television would be well served to read the book before investing two hours in this movie. I saw the film during its theater run but I will probably watch it again when it comes on television to see if it is more comprehensible to me.
