Initially a jab at Margret Thatcher, Applies to the US all too well...

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2006)

This is not your average mindless action flick. This movie deals with several hot button issues, such as racial and religious discrimination (specially post 9-11) terrorism versus freedom fighters, and the trade off of personal freedom for safety. Naturally, there are slight exaggerations , but once you think about it, its not really that big of a stretch, seeing where we are heading and the latest political news. The action scenes were entertaining, with some nice cinematography. I had never heard of the comic books, yet the story managed to draw me in. While at times I thought the film nearly approached one too many twists, it never actually went overboard, and was very entertaining throughout. Highly recommended!
