Nice concept, fun movie
20 October 2006 | by (Toronto, Ontario) – See all my reviews

This movie has a plot...unlike many.

It has a reason for the evil corporations to exist and actually BE evil.

It has action, suspense and martial arts...with a touch of mystery and drama.

While the future was made a little bit too futuristic as it is supposed to be 2008 and this review is almost in 2007, it's not impossible to see too far off.

Nice pacing, good casting.

This goes on my watchable list of movies.

If Arnold or Bruce Willis would have headlines, this would have been a blockbuster instead of a straight to video.

I'm glad they didn't headline it, because they would have destroyed the lead character with their presence.

Eric Roberts was cast great as the father.

Cool movie...
