Review by keith (posted on 10-Mar-2005)

While this is in many ways just another shoot-'em-up-bang-bang, it is so much more. If you suspend the reality that you know for a couple of hours and buy into the reality of this future world, you cannot help but agonize for Kurt Russell's "Todd." Raised and trained in a vacuum where no love, no affection, no compassion were ever permitted, how could one become anything other than "Todd?" Russell's portrayal of this character will never be appreciated by the "experts", but is riveting. His only loyalty is to "duty", and the conflict with his long supressed humanity is heart-wrenching. One of the coolest shots I have ever seen in a movie (admittedly over the top macho) is when the girl in the movie asks him what he alone can possibly hope to do against a highly trained squad of 17. Looking directly into the camera with icy blue eyes that would make Eastwood proud, he matter-of-factly declares that "I'm going to kill them all, Sir." Wow!
