In a dystopian future, a totalitarian regime maintains peace by subduing the populace with a drug, and displays of emotion are punishable by death. A man in charge of enforcing the law rises to overthrow the system.
Stylistically I loved this. A lot of the filming took place around Nazi era German buildings and it all suits the dystopian theme excellently. Some of the action is kind of cheesy, but still remains original and exciting at the same time. Everything comes together a little too easily as well. That would be my other complaint. It probably needed to be another 20-30 minutes to add more conflicts and struggles for John. It borrows ideas from 1984, Robocop, and The Matrix for some of its action scenes/costume vibes. I had some Total Recall connections as well.
