Just saw this on DVD. Very very good - much better than expected. One of the post-Matrix “wannabe films” like Underworld, but don’t hold that against it. The production and direction were excellent and the story has a great twist.

Lucy Lui was looking as fine as ever, although I did find myself cringing over a few of the Matrix-esk moments:

“Take the red pills”, and (on the phone to the hero) “You must get out of the building. You must do exactly as I say, we don’t have much time”.

I really liked the production - everything was filmed in a semi-mono-chromatic hue, and there are some nice camera angles, use of fish-eye lenses, all sorts.

I give it a 9/10
