Poor

Rating: 2/10 (16 February 2007)

This film watches like a party political broadcast. The idea that gangs of white terrorists would form so that illegal immigrants could come into the country is ludicrous. What would be their motivation? The film is summed up best by the scene where Michael Caine asks the main character to pull his finger so he can flatuate. That is around the intellectual barometer reading for this movie.
This is a good example of how not to make a science fiction movie. There is a train of though that says science fiction says more about the time we live in now rather than the future. In this film it is blindingly obvious we are dealing with the present with a highly improbable storyline tacked on. Encounters with highly unpleasant characters in a grim boring looking world form it's core. To be honest I could only sit through the first half hour. This is a film that should not have been committed to celluloid.
A big budget, all-star disaster which was notably only nominated at the BAFTA's for it's cinematography.
