I've seen it before and think it's a great film. As others have said Cutter is Mandleson and the totalitarian right wing Government portrayed is not a million miles from the present Labour one.

Why thank you.

Hmm, swine flu could be very useful for them....

On balance, a flawed film, but 9/10.

Agree. Shyte reviews but a decent film despite what others say.

It was supposed to be anti-Tories.

The author must be gutted that it ended up applying to nuLieBore.

Yes!

But it works well as anti-totalitarinism - even when artists tell lies, the truth comes out. Totalitarianism is available in all sorts for flavour.

It's clear that it was written by a lefty. But then. so was 1984.

On balance, a flawed film, but 9/10. Loved the ending. The main piece of unrealism was the bad teeth...

So 2012 is going to be an extremely slow, boring and badly acted year, and Natalie Portman will have gone bald?

Rubber skinned, hamster eating aliens was much more believable than that load of tosh. Yes tosh.

I loved it, IMDB has it at 178 in the top 250 movies of all time.

Each to their own.

The comic was better.

True, but as chilling?

How can anyone look at the character Cutler and not think Mandelson?

[VectraMan]

Didn't realise it was a documentary from 3 years hence...

For a moment there (while I checked the schedule) I thought you meant the 80's TV series.

Me too.
(BTW, they have remade it.

[Evil Hangover]

Yep. It is.

Now I know why those protestors a few months back (?) were wearing THAT mask.

This really does seem to be a genuinely fine film.

I did wonder why the swineflu pandemic seemed to die out, until the expenses scandal hit.......
