This is a slightly futuristic/ near future story with a heart. Yes the acting and cast list is amazing and the action fast paced, but there's also a human element to it that really makes you care for the characters. It actually surprised me how emotionally driven the story is compared to what I was expecting and this is why it stands out.
It's stylish, and beautifully shot against a dystopian background that serves as a warning to how we are right now and as violent as it is there's also a humane side running parallel. At the heart of the story is family, found or born in to and how both of these are powerful in their own way.
I think the IMDB ratings score is kinda low and it deserves better. I guess it's one of those niche (why do I want to say almost sleeper cult/ camp classic here??) films that aren't for everybody but it is a little gem and those that love it will LOVE IT.
