Um, the bridges?

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2007)

I haven't been a big Will Smith fan  even if I did enjoy his MIB and Independence Day gigs.
I was also a wee bit put out about this shameless efforts to get Will's kids cast in his films. But then, virtually everyone working in film and TV these days is related to someone, someone's college roommate, or something ... aren't they? Maybe Will's up-front approach is just surprisingly honest.
Otherwise, the movie was far better than I expected. I liked the Omega Man for the sheer schlockiness of it. But Legend took the same source material, cut out the non-sense, added much scarier 'monsters', and imbued it all with actual meaning and sensitivity.
That said, can someone explain how Anna and Ethan drove on, then off, Manhattan? I mean the tunnels were flooded and the bridges were intentionally bombed to quarantine the island. Did she have a private ferry? Big water wings for the product-placed Ford SUV?
