The fear of death is one of the primordial fears of humans and for some, it is the most frightening. This movie deals with the reality of life: it doesn't last forever! I totally enjoyed the profundity of this movie and Ben Kingsley's interpretation of the main character is impeccable. Finally a real science fiction movie and not the usual action story packed with impressive CGI. If you, like me, enjoy true science fiction movies, this is a must watch!
Well, this is my first review. After I read the reviews I was in two minds, whether to watch or not. Then I thought I'll give it a try, mainly coz of Ryan & Tarsem (The Fall, I loved it). I would say right from the start the movie gets us involved and it keeps the same pace throughout. I'll not give away much details so yeah do give it a try, you'll not regret it.
The plot had some potential but that's all, it was easy to guess the ending after a few minutes. Soon after it started the guns come out and that's the film: typical shootout rubbish, boring car chases, weak acting and a wasted plot. Ben Kingsley must have laughed all the way to the bank.Not worth the time spent watching it.
A reviewer said he liked this because it was "entertaining". Well, that's his right to say, but for others it's a much more complex issue. I believe a film has a responsibility to be something more than mere entertainment. A porn film is mere entertainment. First off , a film needs some originality of which this film had none. When a film just regurgitates older films it must have something unique. Again, this film had none. The story it self could have been so much more! I want to have to THINK. I want to have to see it 2 or 3 times because it's so intricate I need to. Why cant Hollywood write a screenplay anymore? Look at South Korea for example. Every year 4 or 5 amazing films come out of that country made on a tenth of this budget. Has America become so entitled that they just have forgotten what true pain, misery, and drama are?
