Equilibrium (2002)
Equilibrium
NetFlix DVD
Leighton/Sabine: ***
Similar to 1984 or V for Vendetta, Equilibrium takes place in a near-future dystopian world where feelings and emotions are outlawed and the population forced to take daily injections of an emotion-supressing drug, Prozium. Christian Bale plays a high-level enforcement Cleric, trained in guns and martial arts, who stops taking the Prozium and begins to question his orders. There's lots of action eye-candy along with the message. Not a great movie, but a pretty enjoyable one, overall.

Louis: *** 1/2
I finally got a chance to rent this one on Leight's recommendation and I really enjoyed it a lot. I'm a sucker for near-future Orwellian societies - the martial arts and slick gun play were icing on the cake. Christian Bale is also currently one of my favorite actors.
