4/10
positive:
pretty cool combat scenes with good work in cinematography
photography / scenery
negative:
whoever was in control of the research before producing the film hasn't done their job:
1) horrible german translation by speech and in and written form
2) a party filled with punks dancing to rap music in an underground club... wtf???
3) soundtrack is not fitting well, they just pick some international hits from the 80s and a few german ones that had global success but not the music germans actually listened to in the radio. this is way too cheesy.
4) looks like most of the german population is based on punks. haven't seen any person with the typical ugly glasses and silly fashion. this flick is the opposite of being authentic.
bad cast, except charlize theron
bit overdone in editing the movie with some colored lights. surely it looks pretty now, but it doesn't look authentic.
