This movie is clever and fun, and relies on less action and more thought to drive it along than, say, The Matrix.
I am not a fan of martial arts films, and while I don't mind action films, I tend to find them to be a bit boring.
This is a real thinker, a sci-fi film quite unlike any other I have seen. I've always been fond of this movie, with actors who are not well-known but still manage to shine on their own. With relatively unknown actors in the film, it made it much easier to accept the reality of the story than if there were stars all over this film.
Also, there are actions scenes but they do not require unrealistic kung fu moves that go on and on for twenty minutes. Instead, there is a nod to the film noir genre, with its tough-guy characters, shady dames, and guns and fists.
If you enjoy detective films, sci fi, or just like to be entertained, this will definitely serve well.
If you are looking for some run of the mill sci-fi goof-off, go check out something else.
