Fierce People
Charlize Theron is a sexy, lethal rebel battling for freedom in an oppressive future society. Sci-fi action thrills adapted from the cult MTV animation series
What is it about the Best (Supporting) Actress Oscar that makes the women who win it immediately want to don a revealing costume and beat people up in a daft, female-oriented action movie? Charlize Theron follows in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider) and Halle Berry (Catwoman) with Aeon Flux. While the ballet-trained actress exhibits her physical talents in the stunt sequences, this is a stodgy and listless futuristic thriller that only ever echoes other cinematic sci-fi tomorrows.
Based on the cult animation series originally shown on MTV, the film is set in the year 24...
Fierce indeed
It is clear from early on the direction this film is going to take. However it turns a little darker as it goes on which adds an unexpectedly good edge to what was 'kinda ok'.
The acting and characters are all excellent and the great Donald Sutherland is, as always, amazing.
Well worth watching.
