    Storyline

    Edit
    Lone group of teens, led by recently released joyrider and his disenchanted Belfast girlfriend, strives to leave their mark on "a British city in the near future" while attempting to avoid a rival gang. Scenes of joyriding and ram-raiding, which attempt to portray the addictiveness of fast driving whilst also showing the downside (the effect on the community and ultimately death) —Andrew Welsh <andreww@bnr.ca>

    Cool visuals, Techno music, and Jude Law and Paul Anderson
    This movie is an interesting debut from Paul (WS) Anderson. Dark sets and cool visuals teamed with techno music really get you going. You can see the visual style from the director Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil.

    Speaking of MK, that Orbital song is used in this movie too.

    I think this is the first film were Jude Law actually looks prettier than his female co-star.
