Could you convert this from English to Dutch for me: The movie had good cinematography, some interesting back-story hints and what might have become an interesting plot competing with Children of Man.Sadly it was completely bungled and at the end of it you have a heartless action flick that makes no sense whatsoever because the back-story it was meant to be bolted on is not narrated at all. It is a great indicator if it takes you half an hour to recognize that this is meant to play somewhere in the near future and contains SF elements and is not just wacky James Bond stuff.You have some confusing hints at a Neochristian church trying to gain credibility by publishing an artificial Jesus figure they grew in a lab, you have indications of third world war scenarios where the use of all kinds of weapons has left most of the world in dire straits in which New York city has turned into an obscene city of decadence detached from the rest of the world and various groups vying to take control of things through messianic means.If any of this would have been touched on at all this might have become a decent action flick with some thought food given for free.

De film had een goede cinematografie, een paar interessante scènes en iets wat een interessant plot had kunnen worden, dat het moest opnemen tegen Children of Man.Jammer genoeg was de film volkomen verknald en aan het eind heb je een harteloze actiefilm die nergens op slaat omdat de achtergrond waar hij op geënsceneerd was helemaal niet wordt verteld. Het is een geweldige indicatie als je er een half uur voor nodig hebt om te beseffen dat dit ergens in de nabije toekomst is bedoeld en SF-elementen bevat en niet alleen maar maf James Bond-gedoe is.
