Have you not seen it yet??? are you mad???
This is a VERY under-rated, yet brilliant masterpiece of a film from who would seem to be a very talented director (Kurt Wimmer)
Equilibrium is by no means your typical HollyWood shoot'em up... or in any case, just a shoot'em up...
It actually HAS a plotline more than worthy of the screen...
Christian Bale plays the part of a man who is overwhelmed in a world without feeling... and he is one of the top members of an organisation dedicated to hunting down "Sense Offenders" and "eliminating them from the system"
The film starts off with you thinking, oh brilliant, some action... it really IS action... Christian Bale practices a style of Martial Arts and defencesive maneuvoures(I think) that allow him to basically take out a room full of people, without being touched...
Okay, so I'm spoiling it too much here... one thing...
SEE IT!!!!... it's out on DVD to rent and buy... I've watched it endless times now...
A pretty good contender to the Matrix in certain respects...
Thanks for reading...

You're not wrong, I thought this was a great film as well. And it was all real - he really was that good at shooting (apart from it being a film of course!). I liked the bit where he snatched the guns that were pointing at him. Fantastic!

Yay!!!... I've been waiting ages for someone to say something about this film...
It's really under-rated, don't you think??...
The fight scenes were incredible... I love how he keeps a straight face whilst running, shooting etc...
And I laughed my bottom off when the guys who he took the guns from were totally shocked, lol...
"Try not to ruin the suit Cleric, I plan on wearing it for a long time..." KER-CHUNK! (you know what I mean, lol)
Glad you enjoyed it...

I'd never heard of it until I saw it in Blockbusters. I wasn't looking for anything in particular and thought that it looked better than nothing, and I was really glad that I'd picked it up. I think that I might invest in a copy.
I don't know why it didn't get umch publicity - I keep telling people that they should see it. 
There isn't even much on the Collective about it, although I did see this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2003/02/14/equilibrium_2003_review.shtml
