Billed as this generations The Matrix, I may have gone into this expecting too much. An enjoyable film and enough time travel/sci-fi happenings to satisfy most geeks.
Best moments: some great one-liners and some brilliant action.
Worst moments: Questionably goes off subject and perhaps a questionable ending.
Rating - 6/10
For fans of: Sin City, Inception, Time Travel.

I am really beginning to distrust the tagline 'This years the Matrix'. It wasn't at all. It was good, yes, but head and shoulders above everything else? Unfortunately not.
The production value of this film was bloody impressive. Attention to detail and design was faultless. Script and acting was credible, (creepy child included). So where did it go wrong? Do not hype a film too much, don't show the best bits in the trailer.
Best moment(s):
i) "Pass me the Philips."
ii) Retrograde torture.
iii) "Your face is back to front."
iv) Frog-based booty call.
Worst moment(s)/Quibbles:
i) Not removing the stranger's blunderbuss during shed incarceration.
ii) Retrograde torture. ("Eeee!").
iii) Poor parenting during final few frames, re. immediate environment.
iv) Continuity problems.
I loved Bruce & Jeff in this, but thought Joseph looked slightly...off. Not sure why, was he wearing a prosthetic nose? Watch for a bit of fun and the kid. 6.5/10
