[A.M.P]

Went and saw this yeaterday. It seems at times that Hollywood is berift of ideas and this film struck me as a cross between "The Matrix" and "The Truman show". Also it echoed themes from a golden oldie "Logans Run".

I can't really describe too much of the plot without inadvertingly spoiling parts of the film. I was pleased after playing OB1 Macgregor has gone back to acting. It's not his best performance but I thought he did a good job. I've never seen Scarlett Johansson before but Ewan's co-star has a "big future in front of her" shall we say... Clad in tight fitting attire through out she gives as good a reason to see the film as any. I thought the best characer / actor of the movie was Djimon Hounsou playing the mercenary called in to clean up the mess.

Overall I'd give the film 6.5 out of 10. If you're looking to fill two and a half hours they'd probably be worse ways of doing so. I always enjoy watching Shaun Bean as he's worked his way up to be at the top and is an ardent football fan. Whilst the concept blatantly plagiarize's other movies it is quite watchable. In this day and age it's difficult to be impressed by stunts but I thought some of them after they "escaped" were really good.

Not one that I'd consider owning on DVD but then again I won't be asking for my money back either.

Anyone else seen it?
