    Instant Classic

    by jcoss3

    This movie passed my personal sci-fi classic test: I loved it and my wife hated it. This is a dark, cerebral movie that is close enough to reality that we can all relate to it. It takes a few odd meandering paths, but overall, this is definitely worth watching. I agree with the Blade Runner comparisons and will watch it agin in a couple of years.

    Very Creepy

    by jsttsl

    Somewhat along the lines of "A Day After Tomorrow" & "I Am Legend" it-could-really-happen concept, this movie scare the crap out of you deep down inside. Clive Owens give an Oscar winning performance in this dark thriller as the amazing cinematography grabs hold of you every step of the way. Rent this one, watch it at night in a dark dark room, with the surround sound blaring and let it completely absorb you.

    Excellent Filmmaking

    by ccckc

    The film's style places you intimately with the main character in a tragic future that, in many ways, evolves from today's issues. The violence captures the zeitgeist of terrorism, fanaticism, and urban militias. The movie is dark and violent, and ulitimately hopeless, but is nevertheless deeply spiritual and thought-provoking.
