This is a fun little mix of gangster and sci fi movie, nothing for the ages but quite entertaining. Characters are nicely drawn and well acted and the movie stays at a good clip throughout, and the ending is just lovely. It feels like a nifty little b movie.
It's interesting to see how varied comments on this site are for this one.
I'm surprised by how much some people hate this movie. Yes, it's derivative of a number of other movies, but it's done nicely. Read the negative reviews and you get a sense that some people were expecting a different kind of movie and just didn't like the movie they got instead. I think this movie is the movie it wants to be and succeeds on its own terms, but if you don't like those terms you won't like the movie. Anyway, I rated it 7/10 but was tempted to give it 8/10. It doesn't quite deserve 8/10 but it's just so darn likable.
