Movie Review by B Movie Ben

July 7th, 2007

You clean, we'll sweep.

Before Kurt Wimmer gave us Ultraviolet, he wrote and directed this film, which is just a whole lot more exciting that The Matrix, to which it gets compared.

In order to prevent war, emotions are outlawed, which means no books, no art, no pets, no movies, you get the point. Everone takes a daily injection of Prozium to stay emotionless - kinda like those millions who take their Prozac every day to stay even.

Christian Bale did this one right before The Machinist and Batman Begins. He is the top enforcer of the law against art and hunts down the rebel forces. He is a master with a sword, and can definitely out shoot whatshisname- Reeves or something.

Taye Diggs (House on Haunted Hill, Rent) works with Bale and is constantly trying to trip him up and take over the top spot. Just when he thinks he has him, he manages to lose face.

Emily Watson (Punch-Drunk Love) also has a great part in this film, as does Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings).

The action is waaay better than the Matrix.
