Saw it Friday night - must agree with most of the comments made on the
list.  Top effects, but not knocking / being ironic about the
dangerously fascist society portrayed enough.  (I've never read the
book, so can't comment on that.)  Good Friday night entertainment though
before a curry down the Stratford Tandoori.  And indeed - Clancy Brown
gets to play a good guy!  </amazement>
