Overall a very good movie. It shows that on the one hand, technology has become so important that when the power goes off in a place, nothing can be done. The gas stations are out, the streets are dark, you cannot even gat a medicine for your child unless you steal it. On the other hand, human values have become so pathetic that one doesn't trust anyone. People love electricity but fear each other so much that on the slightest suspicion are ready to shoot each other. The film is a slap in the face for the modern world and wakes one up to the cost of technological progress.
