Stay in the shallow end

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2007)

I don't usually post user comments. Indeed, the only thing that prompts me to do so is reading those of others, and i can't but be amazed that superlatives such as 'beautiful' or 'moving' have been used. Please, do not read too much into this film. It is good, but it is superficial and (for want of a better word) American, on every level.
The whole thing smacks of comic book (which is what it is, granted) so don't go looking for commentary on society as a whole, religious doctrine, or the argument of surveillance and civil rights. You won't find it.
Or at least, you shouldn't.
