The concept was fresh, focusing on a real issue of overpopulation here! With a bit more sincerity and efficacy, it would have been an awesome film. But some aspects of it didn't turn out well. Let me start with the Pros. The most positive point of the whole movie should be Noomi Rapace and the way she handled seven different characters who have different personalities with so much ease. She shines even more in the action sequences as we all know how good she is particularly in those. No surprise there! But to see her acting out wholeheartedly really put a smile on my face. Other than her, The soundscore matched pretty well with the fast tracked action scenes alongside some fine settings and scenical choices. Dystopian future, could have looked even more detailed but the efforts are worth applauding considering the limited resources it had. Now let's come to the negatives. The side characters haven't had much depth, they seemed exhaustively one dimensional. The storyline grips you from the very beginning but slightly loses the grasp right in the middle and then picks up right in the end. This rollercoaster of a journey lacked that essence of integrity that a Thriller should have. And the character arc of the Main Villain, underwhelming to say the least. Overall it's a fine action entertainer with a fresh plotline that could have been a blockbuster, if not for the weaker screenplay and sluggish writing.
