This is a very good film, well made with some great actors. Recommended by a friend and glad I saw it. It has a political edge to it about terrorism and links between the West and Middle East because of oil. There are some great action scenes and the final shootout is very well directed. Go see it!

I won't lie, I absolutely loved this book, an interesting take on a future look into America. Sadly, it doesn't look good either, rather it's unbelievably bleak.
This book exaggerates many of the controversal issues we see today, addressing things such as gun control, terrorism, and media. I defiently recommend this book to anyone!

Tense and thrilling
I remember watching this film many years ago and thinking it was rather good, so I was very interested in watching it again to see how it has fared, and overall it's still a very good film.

The plot of this film is a very serious one, and at the time this film was released in 1999, domestic terrorism was a big concern. It's strange to watch now as domestic terrorism has, probably rightly so, been succeeded by international terrorism and extremism, but for me this is what made the film even more interesting and tense. There are some great performances in this from Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins - a film is automatically good whenever these two are in it. The ending was what I remember shocking me the most when I was younger, and whilst it's not quite as shocking as I'd thought, I do think how this film ended was rather great (if not very bleak and unhappy).

This film does look a little dated now, and some of the special effects probably didn't look their best even back in 1999. This is a very bleak and serious film, it probably isn't quite as relevant now as it was back then which may lessen the impact a little, but it's still a very interesting film to watch.
