This is an action film, not an action movie.

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2009)

i just got home from seeing this amazing film. And i don't use that lightly... transformers was great ... but it was a movie.. this qualifies in my regards as a film. Not very many laughs... unless like me you are completely desensitized to over the top violence. There may be a few scenes that could make you puke.. but only the very squeamish. If you can make it through the fly, you'll do fine. There is a lot of action and violence in this film, but the main driving force is the story. Yes kiddies, this is not AVP, there is drama in this film and a lot of it. You will find yourself almost ashamed of your own humanity. And i'm not the touchy protester type, but it's horrible that there are people in this world that go through a lot of what this film dictates. The cast was amazing, not one American accent in the entire film, which also gives it a great feel.
Now lets get to the action. If you happen to be a fan of first person shooters, you will see some familiar weapons here. Dare i say Grav Gun? But all in all, the action is great, and just enough of it. I will admit it does take awhile to get to the goods. But if you are just as interested in a great story and peoples heads exploding you won't mind.
