The description of this movie reminded me of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow," so I watched it on Netflix. I'm sorry that I did. This could possibly be one of the worst movies I've ever watched.

The acting was utterly terrible. I liked the theme of the movie but the plot was extremely disappointing. The only good thing was that it was suspenseful - whether or not the parents and kids will make it to the Eiffel Tower.

It would've been slightly more okay with a better group of actors, a director who knows what camera angles are good, and a better script. It had potential but fell flat on its face.

I liked this movie a lot. I liked the plot, the idea that there was a drug to eliminate human emotion and that feeling was a crime. Christian Bale was excellently cast as the stoic Preston. He was emotionless on the outside but his emotions were revealed in his facial expressions, and he was brilliant acting them out.

The worse part was the gun battles. Gun kata or not, it's not even believable that one man could defeat 10 men surrounding him in a circle. Impossible. I watched this movie twice and fast forwarded the gun battles the second time.

Brandt was supposedly emotionless but he did laugh and later give a macho speech about how he captured Preston. Taye Diggs' character was annoying in general. I wished there were more Sean Bean screen time.

The ending was a bit rushed. I would've liked another 30 minutes to see Preston and Jurgen meet up again to talk about the aftermath of the revolution or at least some dialogue acknowledging it.
