Disturbing but yet so touching

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2007)

I must say I didn't have high hopes for this film before I saw it but when I walked out of the cinema I thought in my mind what a great movie this was, it made me laugh, it made me angry and it almost made me cry and in my mind that is something that describes a great movie, it makes you feel and it makes you think. The vision of the future we are shown here is something that isn't so far fetched, illegal immigrants, Muslims-Christians conflicts, terrorism, pollution and so on. All the actors did a superb job, I have never seen Clive Owen give such a performance before, he truly does a great job in this movie as the reluctant hero who finds him self being the victim of the situation. Other actors, such as Michael Caine and the beautiful Claire-Hope Ashitey also give their very best performance. Overall this is a really touching movie which gives you a very eerie vision on the future, this is a movie you should not pass on without watching it.
