THE ISLAND

THIS IS A SCIENCE FICTION / CHASE FILM. IT IS A BLEND OF
* LOGAN'S RUN
* MINORITY REPORT
* GATTACA --- NOT THE HALLE BERRY, GOTHIKA
* THE SECOND MATRIX ( CHASE SCENE )
* SOYLENT GREEN
*COMA
THIS IS A VERY WELL DONE MOVIE. IF YOU LIKE SCIENCE FICTION AND CHASE MOVIES, THIS IS A GOOD ONE. IT DELIVERS WHAT THE VERY PRETENTIOUS, MINORITY REPORT, PROMISED AND COULDN'T DELIVER - A STORY THAT INVOLVES THE VIEWER AND IS COMPELLING UNTIL THE END.
WHEN I WENT TO SEE JET LI IN UNLEASHED, I WAS ONLY GOING TO KILL TIME, BUT I WAS CORRECTLY TOLD, THAT THE STORY WAS INTERESTING AND THE ACTING WAS EXCELLENT - . THE SAME IS TRUE OF THIS FILM - THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE TO SEE, BUT THREE FOLKS TOLD ME THIS WAS A SOLID FILM AND THEY WERE RIGHT - A BLUE BROTHERS LIKE CLUSTERING OF VEHICLE CRASHES AND CLOSE ESCAPES.
I OFTEN SKIP NAMING THE ACTORS AND JUST SAY THE ACTING WAS GOOD OR WEAK - THIS HAS GOOD ACTING AND I SALUTE:
* EWAN McGREGOR - BIG FISH
* SCARLETTE JOHANSSON - LOST IN TRANSLATION
* STEVE BUSCEMI - MISTER PINK OF RESERVOIR DOGS - HE NEEDS AN ACADEMY AWARD * MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN - THE GENTLE GIANT OF THE GREEN MILE
* DJIMON HOUNSOU - IN AMERICA & AMISTRAD

IF YOU ARE A SCIENCE FICTION FAN AND A CHASE / GETAWAY FAN - THIS IS YOUR
LUCKY DAY -- IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE GENTLE WORKS OF CHEKHOV, PHYLLIS WHEATLEY OR JANE AUSTEN - YOU ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE.
