Highly original and very watchable, even if you're not into sci fi

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2017)

A very rare sighting indeed - an innovative and original sci fi movie, that is well written, well directed and well acted. And this is it.
Extremely original. Great plot, which constantly channels your thoughts in one direction, only to wrong-foot you. Good direction, from an unknown director. Graphics are great, which is a given for a modern movie, but here the graphics are more subtle and take a backseat to the storyline, unlike the Michael Bay/James Cameron school of in-your- face all-style-no-substance direction.
Great, gritty, natural acting from a cast of unknowns.
With The Hurt Locker probably the most under-hyped and (pre-release) under-rated movie of 2009.
Even if you don't like sci fi, watch this.
