Love this movie. I love the concept, the execution, I even love the stupid prosthetic pieces they added to Joseph Gordon Levitt's face! I have a soft-spot for science-fiction films that aren't really science-fiction films. It takes place in the future but never tries to explain new technology or why the economies of the world are the way they are but it takes the effort to have it all fleshed out to see nonetheless. I can tell the writer/director knows the back stories behind it all but doesn't spend any time with messy exposition about it. It's just an old-fashioned action tale in a sci-fi backdrop and I love it, especially the time-passing montages and the wires sticking out of most car's old-fashioned gas tanks.
