yes Clive Owen is overrated.

I thought it was a good film, yes it was depressing but I thought the way the economy had collapsed was great, really made me think.

It reminded me of 'the last train'? a BBC made for Tv drama from a few years back.

Watch it Iota.

Iota at least if you watch it you will know what all the fuss is about!

I thought it was terrific.It blew me away and in Michael Cain house scene they used one of my fave John Lennon songs, Freeda people

I was quite entranced by Clive Owen...until he started being the face of L'Oreal or some such wankery.

moony did you find it depressing though?

Christ,yes!!

so the moral of the story is... BREED!

Thank goodness you liked it Mondog!
I thought I was all alone then.
Cue me asking DP rather desperately if he thought it was a good film!

I'm not a big Clive Owen fan (awful in King Arthur, but good in Closer IMO) but I was entranced by this film, despite its completely depressing premise. I thought it was slow to get started, but still great overall.

I actually thought that the way everyone responded to that tiny helpless baby at the end was an encouraging message though (don't want to spoil the film) which lifted the film a lot for me.

I was totally gripped by this film, thought it very well acted and if anything underplayed. michael Caine was superb as was Pam Ferris. I'm a bit of a sci-fi geek, love trashy B-movie type films but this was intelligent movie making. Still left wanting after the sad demise of Babylon 5 'sigh'
