Just another off-beat post-apocalyptic film, except for this quirkie that almost made it worth watching.

When the protagonist goes here for a meeting...

...something about the building looks strangely familiar.


And then in the next scene, there's a shot from the inside of the building looking out that fills in the gaps.

It's the Battersea power plant, which was used for cover art for Pink Floyd's 'Animals' LP.

It was decommissioned in 1975 and has teetered between demolition and becoming a theme park ever since.

Even weirder, there's no Pink Floyd in the soundtrack.

Epic movie. This has some continuous action shots... that go on for over 5 minutes, with great action and direction. Great movie. Easily, Clive Owens best.
