Interesting, well-delivered concept

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2005)

This is a cult movie. It includes many interesting techniques, spectacular effects, a good story that is built up with perfect pacing. The sense of mystery and suspense pervades the first half movie and is what is gives it its unique character. The chase and action scenes are spectacular and interesting. The characters give just enough details with their dialogue in order for the viewer to get a glimpse of what is going on, while maintaining a sense of intrigue. The dialogue and acting leaves something to be desired, however.
If you like good, dark sci-fi action films, then this is for you. The pseudophilosophical exchanges might put you off.
