very original idea

Rating: 6/10 (26 November 2006)

The film itself, though surrounded by an original idea, is not so great; science fiction and visual effects are credible, nevertheless I reckon that the entire journey is not as impressive as the action and as Clive Owen's performance. Very surprisingly Julliane Moore acts only for a few minutes, in spite of her being presented as one of the leads whereas Michael Caine is always a giant. I would eventually say that the movie is remarkable but despite its continuous turns it doesn't manage to take advantage of the nice idea and of the impressive story. A film that is certainly OK but could definitely have done much more than it did.
