Default Equilibrium

I remember watching this movie a long time ago and it was the first Christian Bale movie I've seen with him. It kicks ass with the gun kata and the sword play though it was a bit short.

I've seen people thinking it's a Matrix rip off because it came out the same time Reloaded came out, but aside from maybe the clothing and the setting of the last fight scene, it wasn't a rip off at all. There was no bullet dodging and no computer program taking over the world. It was more like an idea based on Fahrenheit 451 with that book burning scene, except replace books with emotions. Or something like a 1984 kind of setting.
