An amazingly real and stark view of the future

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2007)

Apart from one scene of dodgy acting, and some continuity problems, this film completely blew me away. The scene in the refugee camp when they are fleeing the fish is just incredible, even when the blood splatters on the lens. I had no idea what this film was about before I watched it, which made it all the more amazing (I thought it was about Bosnia from the trailers!). Clive Owen is very well cast. At one point, he puts on a pair of flip flops, which you can then hear throughout the rest of the movie. It was this attention to detail which also stood out. The acting is excellent and the direction is superb. And the special effects are awesome. Really really good stuff!
