Equilibrium. 2002.
In a society where all form of feeling are illegal, a man in charge of enforcing the law of sense offence, rises to overthrow the system and the state that created the law.
Set in a future, post-World War III society where emotions have been outlawed, Equilibrium tells the story of John Preston (Christian Bale), a government agent who begins to have doubts about the policy he is enforcing.
For me when I first saw this at the first shootout I thought all those guns and gunfire no blood c'mon, then as the movie goes on the blood splatter comes in good doses. The gun kata is brilliantly executed by Christian Bale and Angus Macfayden who probably spent time training as well as the fighting sequences with guns and swords (only small part sword fighting except the training). Taye Diggs makes a good on screen presence as the new partner and one who will abide by the laws, may not be perfect but certainly good to watch over again.
