Absolutely, without a doubt, the best movie I have seen in the past year. Also one of the most violent, and I'm talking "Schindler's List" violent. In fact that's not a bad movie to bring up because some of the scenes could have come right out of that movie, and there's even a "Homeland Security" holding zone that could easily have been a Jewish ghetto from 1940s Germany, if not a concentration camp.
Don't know what else to say except it was brilliant. Brutal, bleak, depressing, but exhilerating and oddly enough, at the end it was uplifting. I found myself getting lost in the hopelessness from time to time, but there are quiet scenes interspersed throughout that give you "breaks." And there's well-placed humor that keeps things from getting too constipated. Like salad with steak.
I'd have to say my favorite bits are between Clive Owen's character Theo, and Michael Caine's character, an old hippie named Jasper. There's even a seen where Jasper says he saw a UFO once. Nice one.
Anyway, I'd certainly recommend it to you all, and I'd love to know what you thought since this is, after all, a great gathering of minds we've got here!
