User Reviews

A dark view of the future with a rather simple solution

The number of deaths in this movie make it rather sad to watch, but it fits the atmosphere well. It is a bit sad, however, that all the entities in the movie (the police, the company, the punks) are all "reduced" to a single person representing them, which makes everything too easy. This movie would've worked better as a series.
