Well-put-together film, and is strong in many aspects. The acting is top-notch, with Sharlto Copley making the most of every scene that he’s in. Matt Damon and Jodie Foster also deliver. The effects are excellent, creating a believable futuristic world that features people living in squalor and others in decadence. The story is pretty good, keeping things interesting for the most part. The movie is surprisingly violent, and along with in the profanity, it really gives it a gritty feel and keeps it grounded. The action scenes are pretty cool, but sometimes they use an odd camera move that was a little distracting.
***1/2 out of *****
