    There's nothing particularly revolutionary about writer-director Robert Edwards' grimly satiric political fable.

    Though Fiennes has done (far) better work, the blurry story seems almost profound when seen through his eyes. To the extent the movie works at all, it works best when it's just the camera and Fiennes in a bleak white room.

    Political satire is so rare that it's a shame to watch the reliable Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland lend their talents to one that is blind to its own incompetence.

    Dark, grim, and cliched Orwellian satire.

    This movie has been unfairly downgraded. I can't quite give it a 10 but it's a solid 9: a nasty dystopian fantasy somewhat like Gilliam's Brazil but much more willing to twist the knife. Sutherland is perfect in his role and Fiennes isn't far behind. I strongly disagree with the critics on this one.… Expand
