I found it entertaining (in a harsh way) and really enjoyed the cinematography - a little more back story would have made it a more realized film. Although some of the questions I had were answered in a subliminal way, I would have enjoyed the ideas presented in a more concrete style.
All that said- Michael Caine was delightful and Clive Owen is always fun to watch. I was on the edge of my seat the duration of the film despite it's shortcomings it was a great popcorn movie, instead of a great film.
Follow Ups:
And why did the black guy order Clive killed as he walked away, in hte first minute of the seven minute uncut sequence?
For revenge: the red-haired guy and his partner got screwed up (both made it back to the farm, but the partner was dying) by Clive Owen when he opened his car door to clobber them during their hit on Julianne Moore.
,
...the other, the cousin, apparently died.Remember, two guys on motorcycle, heads and faces covered, both wrecked.
Patrick (sandy haired cyclist) shows up at the farm with his wounded cousin and tells Luke he wants to "get" Theo on account of his cousin. We learn as Theo & company escape that the cousin isn't gonna make it.
In Bexhill, Luke doesn't want to upset Kee any more than he already has, so he tells Patrick to "do" Theo & others after He and Kee are out of sight.
Patrick doesn't get his until the battle in the apartment building.
As I said, I'm no authority but my take was that Clive's character needed to be "removed" so the "movement" could use the child as a political tool. He was in the way.
