A movie of literal halves - real world London and the fantasy world of Meanwhile City which incorporates an odd amalgam of Brazil, V for Vendetta, the Thief series of video games and Watchmen. It just about pays off, but you have to watch a solid hour of confusing multiple strand, multiple levels of reality plot before it starts to come together. It looks good and the cast are fine - although personally I'm getting a bit tired of Eva Green's wonky British accent and petulant screen persona now, and Sam Riley isn't a very compelling character - but Ryan Phillipe (the only American, not explained) and Bernard Hill are very watchable. A stronger script would have balanced out the early head scratching, and the end is a bit over the top, but it's not too bad. 12 years 3 months ago -

Somewhere between boredom and intrigue lies the answer to and enjoyment of this film. Normally I would be the latter but unfortunately I missed the complex connections due to being the former. Be ready to pay attention or don't bother. 10 years 2 months ago -
