video game

Rating: 4/10 (9 January 2007)

For the generation that grew up on video games - this is perfect. get the protagonist ( that means the hero) from one threatening situation to another until you reach the end zone. Beside the fun of the chase, there is nothing else to this film. It's little more than chase, run, blast, boom, escape, arrive. But most of you love it, I'm sure. In its favor there is the nimble camera work. Note how he tells you he has not changed cameras by keeping blood splotches on the lens. Of course, there is no reason that we should be aware of a camera - it hasn't been part of the film up to then. But - in this world, it's considered "innovation" . Does anyone out there remember "Rope" - probably not. We could also consider the Jungian/Biblical imagery - announcing the baby in a stable, going "down" to the canal, the cave imagery on the walls in the final scenes, the notion of the "ark" floating on water at the end - etc., etc. But who knows or cares about that? You want bif, bam, boom? You got it. You want writing and plot - stay home and read.
By the way - where did all those isolated immigrants get the automatic weapons for the revolt?
