Good Points: Pretty good fight scenes, although sometimes they are a bit dancy! Stylish.
Bad Points: Plot is a bit poor, bit unoriginal (Matrix meets 1984?).
General comments: Another Matrix type cash-in, but better than a lot of them!
Christian Bale is a law enforcer of the future. An elite police man set the task of destroying people with emotion, as the rest of the population is suppressed by drugs.

The film is definitely worth a watch.
Slight plot spoiler - Incidentally, is it just me or is Sean Bean in a lot of films for just the first 30 minutes or so?!!!
