[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 842884, member: 4779"] I don't mean to poach. ;) That description is exactly what the movie was. But by looking at the first half of the movie, it could have been more. Much more. Now I'm all for a good shoot-out, don't get me wrong. It just seemed to me that the movie was aiming higher than just "action movie." With the exception of a few easily ignored plot points they had some pretty heady topics going on there. Now, I couldn't really relate in general but they definately got my brain going. It reminded me of (as mentioned) [b]Dark City[/b] which I adored. Maybe I just wanted more from it and maybe I like it when movies go all the way with a concept rather than just cutting out at the end. I still don't excuse it for falling short at the end but I do acknowledge that I enjoyed what they showed me. And because I was entertained, I am looking forward to these next 2. :) [/QUOTE]
