A soulless effort that impresses the eye but doesn't challenge the heart., 7 May 2008
6/10
Author: axlrhodes from United Kingdom

Im very sorry to have to say i thought this film was all killer and no filler.It sold itself through its striking imagery and promise of bloody violence.Im sure many will disagree with me and sure Gerard Butler and Lena Heady are fine in their respective roles but there just wasn't a shred of a plot to get my teeth into.The imagery is amazing however,it looks like a beautiful oil painting,its jut a pity there's no tension thanks mostly to limited character expansion and a diluted plot line.So the film gets a 6/10 from me,it only really scores points for its technical achievements and loses out for being a soulless piece of film sadly lacking expression and heart.
