Saw this last night... would defo recommend it.

Outstanding action scenes - not just for the epic scale of them, but the fact you hardly ever notice any CGI... a lot of it looks like endless rehearsals and hard graft and the result makes for some incredible long take sequences that no films I have seen recently have matched.

I like the fact theyve got 5 dubstep tunes on the soundtrack, including 'Anti War Dub' by DMZ....they all suit the film really well

Take Damo's recommendations seriously folks, he rarely likes a film to such an extent.

It was a wicked film though, saw it last night too, (with Damo et al) a lot of world war 2, holocaustic/concentration camp influnences. History is back with a vengence!

Great action sequences, long takes, rehersed to perfection. a post apocalyptic film with balls, and is it me or is Clive owen getting better (or have i just learnt to accept he's a decent actor -British i add)

I have been jaded by CGI-laden films but this one really shows how it can be done.

Obviously it's a film and a load of people made it, but it's very realistic and believable compared to the reams of recent dross.
