You might like Equilibrium.

You may even love it.

Limited release.

Only a few hundred theaters in the country.

My heart raced through half of the movie, which, for a moment, made me look around the theater to make sure there were no ?Grammaton Clerics? watching.

Huh?

Just see it if you can. I had to drive an hour to find it.

Oh yeah, I also read that some big drug companies sued over the old title and won. They probably didn?t like what was being said about government sanctioned medication abuse either.

And oh, if you like puppies.

One scene will make you cry for pain.

Then another will make you cry for joy.

In the end scenes, the irony made me cheer outloud (and yeah, I was the only one in that theater who did ? go figure).

Sirguessalot?

Oh, I forgot to add...

Ex-wayfers will recognize the doctrine of "feeling-suppression" in this flik.

In fact, there are some similarities to TWI dogma in this flik that'll make your skin crawl and your mind go, "uh oh..."

I just saw this on DVD, and SGL was right. Fantastic flick! Keep in mind as you watch it that NO wires and NO computer graphics were used when they made this. (even in the motorcycle flip sequence and the gun-kata fight in the hallway)

Well worth renting if you like action movies and thought-provoking dystopian vision. The director commentary is also very interesting. I think I'm going to buy this one for keeps.

Er, I should say that no CG was used in the gunfights. Some of the cityscapes and such were CGI, obviously. But still...
