Very slow beginning. Gary Oldman is in usual form, overacting. Early on, I thought for sure I wouldn't rate this movie higher than 3 stars. Just a few minutes in, Ken - a big fan of this type of movie - predicted the ending correctly. At times it's basically a post-apocalyptic western, though I'll admit that the world degenerating into a lawless wild west after a nuclear holocaust isn't too unbelievable. Anyway, there were definitely some unexpected and satisfying twists, and it leaves you with stuff to think about. Plus, a lot of cool details and cinematography.
