NO SPOILERS HERE!
EQUILIBRIUM takes place in a futuristic society where feelings are controlled by daily doses of Prozium and enforced by Big Brother and his army of Clerics, including John Preston, played by Christian Bale.
If I recall correctly, this movie only lasted one to two weeks in the theaters when it was released in 2002. I saw it at a special screening back then. It caught me by surprise since I had no expectations for the movie. From time to time, I’ll put the DVD in and rewatch Christian Bale some serious kick butt. It never gets old.
If you like smart, sleek and stylized shoot ‘em up movies with heart, this one is for you!
