This film kind of combines elements from 1984, The Matrix and even a little Fahrenheit 451 thrown in for good measure. Christian Bale stars as a kind of censorship cop who breaks up gangs of people who read and refuse to take their "stay calm meds" He trains to fight the bad guys and once he stop taking his own dose, he goes after the big brother style leader who tells everyone what to think.
Even though the concepts are old, they executed this film in ways that entertain throughout. It took turns I didn't expect. Sure it's on the low end of what I call good, but I enjoyed it. So would a teen I think.
Bandon has the only copy of this interesting DVD.
