are part of the film, rather than just observing it. The US military presence had been drafted in to re-construct the City of London, and to repatriate it's inhabitants onto the Isle of Dogs, which boasted one pub, and one supermarket, and with 15,000 inhabitants already settled in. It made me think... "What if all 15,000 people wanted to go the one pub on the same night?!? There would be chaos! :O - I think what made it more thought rendering for me was the fact that the American army had total control. The scenes showed people being herded back to Britain, from refugee camps abroad, and they were being cleansed, and scanned for any signs of the virus. How terrible it would be for another Country to take control of ours. Would we ever be able to reclaim our Country afterwards? It made me wonder what would happen in a similar scenario? If a virus wiped out almost a whole Nation. It made me feel empty, and helpless. It actually evoked some quite scary thoughts.-

This film was very well done, as entertainment, and for me it was thought provoking also. The acting was superb throughout. It just goes to show that without the right actors the whole script and direction would be of no avail. The right actors are all important to a film, as is casting. Get this mix wrong and it can kill a good script. This film had it spot on, and the performance by Robert Carlisle as the main protagonist is second to none. The acting was underplayed, and natural, and I felt as if I was overhearing and observing conversations, and I felt very much at the 'heart' of this film. The realism was to a maximum, and there were some wonderful performances throughout, from all concerned.-

There were some comedy moments also, not many, but when they did come, at the appropriate moment, they were very welcome, but really only served as the lull before the storm. This film is pretty much full on action throughout, and when it is 'resting', you know it is only because there is a storm ahead. The special effects are extremely impressive, and realistic, with horrific bombings, and disturbing images of fire raging out of control. The ariel photography is brilliant. There are some fabulous ariel shots of buildings, sea, and landscape, and an amazing shot of a helicopter keeping watch over the City of London. Reinforcing the fact, by the camera watching the helicopter watching, that at all times the people are being observed. The photography is stunning throughout in fact. There is a nice use of 'snapshot'
