Futuristic Thriller; a couple of Loose Ends

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2008)

This was a startlingly possible look at the not-too-distant future, in an apocalyptic, violent world. The British setting was not bothersome to me, although I know the British accent seems to be a problem for some. The overall miasma of gloom, misery, and defeatedness was difficult to tolerate, but necessary for the buildup of the story.
I enjoyed the movie and it's many messages. I was disappointed by what I felt were two or three crucial points that were never made clear in the end. I know that if you have seen the movie, you know what I mean. I don't want to blow the experience for others; maybe the deliberate "leave you guessing" feeling was the whole point. More emotion from Clive Owens, who seemed so emotionally numb, would also have been good.
