quite subtle, leaving the major "message" to be the reaction of the fighters in and outside of the building.
I think in this case, the future accurately was portrayed, given the condition of the world.
I thought the film was extremely character and storyline based: no gratuitous violence, no extended chase scenes or battles. Yes, it had all of those elements but they were plot driven, not vice-versa.
I thought the story was carried to term... I don't know what you felt was undeveloped?
Person found, something occurs, hero attempts to preserve lives.
Anyhow, I have seen so many films your comments apply to but I'm really surprised you'd think they fit this film.
Oh, did I mention how much I liked the collateral actors, too? The midwife, the gypsy, the dread-locked attacker and, of course, the Caine character which was subtly over the top, not too much to be a cartoon but enough to provide a little lightness.
