A largely dull rehash of Escape From New York with Cage strangely subdued although Bill Moseley as the governor is value for money. Director Sion Sono's attempts at the weird and quirky largely fell flat for me and following a promising start i became increasingly bored. A huge disappointment.
I don't really understood what Sion Sono was trying to do with this one, I was hugely disappointed(tbh I fall asleep couple of times).
If you want to see Sono on his best try Cold Fish or Why Don't you Play in Hell.
