It was more of a political film than a thriller IMHO....

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2006)

I just saw it and I have to say that it wasn't great. The trailers were just amazing but the movie itself was a political statement. It was all for minority/gay/lesbian/liberal rights. I didn't mind it but I went in looking for a thriller. Sure it had a couple of action sequences but they weren't the focus of the film. The main themes were civil liberties and how hope can set you free. I loved the music. The special effects were extremely realistic. I feel that the final action sequence could have used a little less slow motion. Other than that, the middle was pretty slow and I recommend that you rent it not buy/watch it in the theater. 8-10 for effects/statement.
