What an exhausting film. From the ultra-violent opening to the apocalyptic ending, it doesn't let up for one second. The ideas behind the science fiction aspect, summed up in a couple of dialogues, are secondary to character development and scene setting, but this means it delivers more of an emotional punch than the more philosophically minded Sci-Fi out there. A skilfully executed world, a fantastic and tightly paced story, with an appropriate soundtrack which stands out but never dominates, leaves me breathless and anything but bored...even after several viewings over the years.
