Ah, bullets, always deciding someone`s fate.

contemporary London...future metropolis...which one is it, or am I missing something. If contemporary means present (like now), then how can it be the future? I'm confused (which isn't hard to do I must admit! lol).

Anyway, I like movies that mix the lives of individual characters together; Grand Canyon is still one of my favorite movies. The cast looks pretty good.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, wes. Maybe Jarrod was just distracted by the pic of Eva Green and typed it in wrong...

Well it talks about parallel worlds so I assume that a contemporary London and an alternate future version exist at the same time.

That sure is a pretty enigmatic plot description!

Cinescape's... er, Mania's practice of posting pictures of hot chicks to get me to read a news item that I would normally skip, sadly works everytime. I'm such a sucker.

isgrimner...you're not the only one! lol

ddiaz28...I took the parallel worlds comment to mean that the characters come from different backgrounds (rich/poor, west side/east side, etc...)

Jarrod, shed a little light here for us buddy!

I'm guessing that there are two parallel Londons, on our London, the other a futuristic, faith dominated one.

"two parallel worlds on course for an explosive collision"
Is it sad that I looked at her breasts right after reading that. Man, she is smokin'.

Sorry guys, as is the case with all plot summaries, we just pass it along as they write it at the trades...even if the plot summary is vague or confusing..

:)

I'm glad the picture was distracting off the confusing plot summary given me though...lol
