I had expectations about this film especially after Endgame, which was in my opinion excellent. The source fell short in every category. Acting is just terrible, no emotions is seen from any of them. however this is probably not the actors fault, but directors who wanted to give the movie style by taking away its soul. And the movie really is nicely stylized. The editor did what he could (looks a bit like Man on fire), but couldn't save the movie from poor direction and the lack of story. So this are the biggest problems with this movie.
It starts in the near future and sets its characters on a detective mission to find out what is it all about. And then the main characters just start driving around.. There is absolutely no character development (spoilers: why did Ana suddenly changed her mind, what is happening with Methos, he is a good leader and suddenly, near the end said something like: "I wouldn't do that for you" where is this coming from?, Duncan is from start to finish absolutely the same, even thou the only story that exist in the film is the story about Duncans inner battle to accept that "He is the ONE".) If we look just the outlines of the film: Mad Max envoierment, Man on fire editing in a Duncan McLoud world, I would give the movie 10 out of 10, but the writers were obviously interrupted on a Holiday (lazy writing) and the director missed the point of all the other highlander movies and the Highlander series. If it weren't a Higlander movie I would give it a 4 but because it is I give it a 1!
