A Review Too Far - The Big Short

This week our cinema geeks review Aeon Flux, Darkman, and The Big Short.

First off is Aeon Flux, a live-action adaptation of the bizarre sci-fi animated series from the 90's where an erotic assassin (Charlize Theron) moves in to take out a ruthless dictator (Marton Csokas), but finds out that there is more going on in their dystopian society than she has been led to believe.

After that is Darkman, an offbeat superhero movie starring Liam Neeson where he plays a burn victim who gains super-human strength thanks to an experimental medical procedure who goes on a quest to gain vengeance against the gang that tried to murder him.

Finally, out in theaters, is The Big Short. An ensemble piece starring the likes of Christian Bale and Steve Carell, it is a dramatization of the sub-prime mortgage crisis that brought the world economy to its knees and attempts to parse the confusing terms and dishonest dealings of the banks that led to it.
