Visually and mentally dazzling

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2012)

I had no expectations going into this film as I hadn't heard anything about it, which may explain partly why I was so utterly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It's definitely one of the best films portraying an apocalyptic future. The Road is another similar film I enjoyed so much, but this was a little more action packed.
The camera work and the photography was excellent, the script was original and the action sequences were spot on. Clive Owen was as interesting as ever. He is not one of your conventional Hollywood leading men, which gives him a different dimension and I've always enjoyed his work. Michael Caine was utterly riveting as the lovable hippie and the rest of the cast is great. The star of the show however was Kee. Her performance was absolutely brilliant as the confused young mother with the street wise edge.
Overall, I can't recommend it highly enough. It's well acted, thought provoking and hugely entertaining.
