I don't like action movies much, but I do LOVE dystopian science fiction stories. I love them so much. There's just something really appealing to me about movies with that kind of setting. It makes the action vastly more entertaining to me. As such, I really enjoyed this movie. It occasionally got a little ridiculously Tarantinoesque in terms of the over-the-top violence, but it was still a lot of fun. Not worth a rewatch probably, but watching it was a fun way to spend an afternoon. 2.5 stars.
Flickchart: #1013 out of 2002, below The Thin Man and above Fish Tank.
