Kristofer K @kbkaizer May 15 An original take at the apocalyptic theme, it taught me how symbolism and hidden references distributed throughout a film can tell a deeper, more meaningful narrative.

I wanted to stop it after the first 15 min but was just telling myself maybe it gets interesting - It does not. Just spare yourself and watch something else, especially if you are a movie connoisseur you'll regret watching this. Every movie I watched so far with Clive Owen was extremely boring and bleak and doesn't get me invested whatsoever. I am shocked this has many good reviews!

At first, I wasn't narratively convinced: a man in the apocalypse, conversations with his friend, the fatalistic world... but I was impressed by the number of themes it touches on. Hope in youth, faith, the symbolism of religious beliefs, and especially, migration. When this theme is introduced, the film truly shines. Kee's story is much more symbolic than simply being a pregnant immigrant woman after a long time. How can one forget what children are like? I reflected a lot on the importance of these beings who sometimes make me uncomfortable. This film doesn't bother to give you many explanations; however, you'll have to resist the urge to know why. Here, what matters is what society does about it. The way immigration is portrayed is visceral. The set design and camera work are ingenious and captivating.

See more Jody W @hotdogs365 Mar 18 Still as thought-provoking and provocative as the day it was released See more MBI M @MNZGamerX Jan 19 Despite being released in 2006 this movie has more relevance than ever before and eerily resembles much of what is happening today and the debates, disputes and conflicts now dominating many Western countries. Overall the film was relatively well made and the action sequences intense and the acting performances were excellent. See more Read all reviews
