In this movie, there almost seems to be a battle between contrasting sides of good against one evil. One of the interesting things I have found found by watching this movie is the question that arises in regards to which sides of right/good is right.
So, on one side you have someone who believes that everyone has good in them and can change. This was held firm from the ashes of pain and tragedy, however, the pain was still there.
On the other hand, you have someone, who coincidentally doesn't feel pain (or any emotion). come along and after a series of events seemingly solve the problem and remove pain while at the same time bring hope.
The depressed mother in the background could almost serve as a gauge for viewing the two sides. The right that didn't give her any hope, or the right that killed and in the process returned hope to her, or at least made her consider the treatment program. Which in the end was more effective in the real world (the world of the movie at least)?
In general, the movie just makes you question what is right and what is wrong in the first place.
I also kind of like this movie because, while the ideals of what would make up a hero was rebelling against the actions of what would make up a villain, despite all that, the one that could be considered the villain or evil actually won in the end!
It was a great movie. The contrasts in this movie provide interesting food for thought. It's action packed and will play with your emotions. If you love looking into darkness and seeing if you don't flinch when something looks back at you, this is the movie for you!
