I'd aimagine this would look impressive on the big screen, a mix of cold and warm stocks, close ups, fast paced editing and battle scenes to rival "Saving Private Ryan". One scene set in 'Society' plays out like a music video, reminding me of 'Black Hole Sun' from Soundgarden. Slick FX, of that there is no doubt, but it is badly let down with pretty poor acting and over convolluted plot line, plays more like a 2D comic book rather than a narrative film.

It bangs, it shakes, it jitters, it runs....Much ado about nothing really because there is absolutely no flesh to the bones of that film.

very good
