Twitter Capsule: Mood, milieu strongest parts. Direction a bit too blatant, script a bit too tentative for my taste, but keep eyes on Carré.

VOR:   It's amazing how post-apocalypse can be indicated this persuasively on a tiny budget, but that's also glutted the market a bit. Less original than its nervy premise implies.
