Great film...slight flaws but who cares.....there's more invention in this film than all the other films released in 2009 put together (just about)....

One reviewer here said you can almost imagine it happening here....doh!....what do you think happens when you take a population that is not indigenous and place it next to another population....the one ghetto-ises the other and blames all the ills of its own society on it... also the indigenous populations seek to exploit it...both at the bottom end (nigerian black market - non PC but absolutely scary....it could be Albanians or any other population that we wrongly have nightmares about).....and at the other end...corporate greed.......

I do hope that this film does not become part of a franchise and I do hope the director has other films in him....whilst some of the cgi was used in car commercials and I don't know which came first...the story and the story telling is brilliant...so he should be giving us something new in a couple of years.....
