Trivia

In the movie, Anthony Mackie runs with his arms resembling the way the Terminator T1000 runs after Sarah Conner and T800 in the Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).

Goofs

Harp wears a plate carrier vest (body armor) for most of the film, but it obviously does not contain any plates as it is too thin and flexes while he walks. Since there are no pouches on it to carry ammo, radios, first-aid or any other gear, it is useless for him to be wearing it at all.

User Reviews

Cool movie... Meh story

It is a cool movie, and even the concept is cool... But you never get to feel for the characters, so you are not really invested in the story, on top of that there is a general lack of motivation through out the movie.
