The contexturalization and plot of this movie are nuanced, non-clichéd and real worldly ambivalent. It weaves sci-fi, ecology, spy and corporate drama into a plausible mesh; in direct contrast to the implementation which is car chases, reflexive gunfights and a "just a scratch" hero. For a change the unbelievability isn't in the whole worldview but only in the the personal charm and invulnerability of the hero. In a novel twist; as bullets fly and bodies hit the pavement our hero never carries a gun, only a camera that keeps getting broken, and doesn't kill anyone; though handy with his fists. A realistic approach would have made it very heavy weather. As it is, it's good fun and better politics than usual.
