Fresnadillo simply wants to blow up things real good and that he does for the sake of action-pulsing nightmarish horror/slaughter - the firebombing of London is extremelly impressive with flames filling City Streets and shooting up through the buildings. if Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and his Co-Screenwriters Rowan Joffe and Jesus Olmo intended this as some sort of veiled critique of American Imperialism it fails. While some snivelling minots want to draw inferences to this symbolizing 'The War in Iraq' and an oppressive America (IDIOTS). A full-fledged Apocolypse-Battle is in-full engagement.
