If you've read Brave New World and 1984 you understand the premise of this movie. If you haven't, go to a library and check them out now you hooligan. The movie has some dull parts yes, but these are not only outshined, but blown out of the stratosphere by action scenes. The action sequences in this movie really wore out my rewind button on my DVD remote, because I had to know HOW THE HELL DID HE DO THAT? Absolutely incredible, sets a new standard for action.Fun movie, most definetly. Not for the squemish in some parts. (hey did he just break someones leg and snap their arm in half? Why, yes he did!). But definetly worth it.
