A dark and violent American prisoner in 1950’s postwar japan becomes affiliated with a gang in Osaka as sort of an enforcer. The main character’s role was awkward and didn’t really make sense, and even worse, parts were almost offensive as you learned what he left behind for his new life as… |

CP has a solid sci-fi premise that creates many creepily-interesting moments, but it fails to capitalize on that or the decent acting and instead was a dull affair punctuated by adrenaline-fueled moments here and there. |

Cheesy sci-fi mech robots? Check. Film in quasi black-and-white? Check. Derring-do of Jude Law’s hero? Check. Gwenneth Paltrow’s “Take no prisoners” gumshoe blond? Check. This 1930’s meet comic book style of movie is well done for that style, but you gotta like that style. Me, not so much. |

Somewhat of a misfire as script-writing goes, Strangerland partially makes up for it with well done drama, sexual tension, aboriginal mystery, and good-old-fashioned “whodunnit?”. Many reviewers will disagree, but I think it was worth the watch. Besides, I just couldn’t take my eyes off of Nicol… |
