Movie: Equilibrium

In a '1984'esque world where art, creativity and expression are outlawed and emotions are controlled through mass-medication, a man searches for meaning in his life.

Given the job of seeking out those who choose the path of emotional turmoil that has led to a third world war, John deals with the conflicting information in his heart and mind and that which he has lived by for his whole life.

Action sequences that are amazing and inventive, considering the limited budget this movie was produced with, draw the eye and imagination. Characters are deliberately wooden, to accentuate the awakening inside John.

Sure to be a cult classic, worthy of drama and action fans, but not for everyone. Worth a rental
