Too violent

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2012)

Two problems with the level of violence in this film: First, in the UK, it's been rated as suitable for viewers aged 15, 16 and 17 by the BBFC which it definitely should NOT be; and second, it's completely unnecessary because, otherwise, this is an interesting film with great possibilities well explored.
The acting for Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis is really good and keeps the realism going even when some of the characters don't appear to have a complete justification for their behaviour as one may wish.
I didn't imagine where the story was going to go, and, were it not for the unnecessary nastiness, that would make this an outstanding film -- I always like to be surprised!
Overall, only recommended for those who like their sci-fi a bit unnecessarily violent (teenage boys, then).
