Some beautiful photography alternates some original action scenes, although it must be said that the powers of our heroine way out do that of her enemies, and her limits are completely unclear (a lot of gravity defying stunts). For science fiction lovers, this one is probably too simple and not inspired enough, but if you can appreciate merely an aesthetic look into a design future this will surely stimulate you.

With the mark of Kafka scratched all over it, we are taken down the path where everything is dirty, where human kindness is the pause-button sanctuary and sanity is the aberration provoked by a blind ignorance of reality.
