best original film i've seen in ages

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2007)

i'll have to say that this movie really took me by surprise. when it first started it seemed a little dull but i was rapidly and totally drawn in
sound is used in the movie extremely cleverly, and we only hear certain things in order to give emotional impact. for example only the squeal of the train can be heard to indicate impending danger in one scene, they use tinnitus style sounds extremely well during explosive moments, other sounds are also of extremely high quality like the part where the motorcycle is toppled with the car door. wow. and the gun battle toward the end is simply superb, pure adrenalin. leagues above the sonic deluges we often hear these days
fabulous performances are turned in by everyone. and what a breath of fresh air for a movie to clock in at just over 1 hour and 30 minutes. a perfect example of how less is more
this movie is fantastic and isn't just for sci-fi buffs either. take a look, i absolutely loved it!
