I picked this movie up yesterday and watched it last night.

Interesting movie - sort of like the Matrix meets Fahrenheit 451 meets the Demolition Man. I thought the acting was good and the action decent. The message was a little heavy-handed but it was overall a pretty good flick. Anyone else see this?

I saw it a few months ago. I thought it was a good movie. I enjoyed all of it. Loved the concept of the fighting, the society, the colours in the movie. Everything. I have no idea why this was straight to DVD. It seemed like they had a budget. They even had some name actors. Does anyone know why this was straight to DVD?

I couldn't even find it at Blockbuster. I had to buy it to see it.

Picked this up awhile ago at Best Buy for $9.99. I wish it was a bit longer, and had a few more action scenes, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It got a minor theatrical release. I would wager it got a small release because it wouldnt have made enough money likely to offset the costs of giving it a major release. It appears that Leonardo DiCaprio was linked to this project at one time.

Netflix has it though if anyone is interested.

Just caught this for the first time last night....Loved the movie...one of the better ones I have seen in a while, and the cast is decent....to bad it didn't hit a major release or such...

The concept was pretty cool...the fight scenes and GunKata were the shit!!
