Such a waste of an interesting idea.

Rating: 3/10 (5 May 2012)

Had this film script landed on the desk of any other producer but Jerry Bruckheimer's, this could have been a great sci-fi action film. Twists, turns and interesting concepts abound. It could have been amazing.
However, as it is, the movie is reduced to this: things go boom - a lot, women are there to be leered at in the shower by a room full of meatheads or to pray over bowls of soup (thus showing what 'good' girls they are), cars go fast, men do actiony things and talk tough, guns go off and then, just for a change, things explode.
Honestly, Denzel Washington and Jim Caviezel are about as wasted in this boof-headed romp as two actors can be. Both are far better than this swill. I can only hope they were paid handsomely.
