Excellent film, very dark, very moody.

Rating: 8/10 (30 October 1999)

I really enjoyed this film from the outset and that feeling followed right through to the end. It had a very Kafka-esque feel to it, if I can say that without sounding pompous! You could really feel the characters uneasiness and Rufus Sewell and John Hurt turn in fantastic performances, and there are some fabulous camera shots and effects. There's an obvious comparison to The Matrix, it's not as rich on effects, but it sure makes up for it in mood and style.
