Just a couple of fight scenes from one of my all time favorite action movies and proof that you should never rely too much on the critics to judge a movie. Even though the movie is an action movie; it does also deal with a few philosophical/ethical questions usually revolving around the pros and cons of emotion, the greater good and freedom.
Following quoted text pulled from wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrium_(film)
"Equilibrium is a 2002 action and science fiction film written and directed by Kurt Wimmer. Christian Bale has the lead role in the film and is supported by Taye Diggs, Angus Macfadyen, Sean Pertwee, Emily Watson, David Hemmings, and Sean Bean.
Although it was received well by test audiences, the film was given only a limited release and little promotion and was generally poorly received by critics. However, over the years its ratings have significantly improved....
...There are 236 deaths in Equilibrium with Christian Bale's character Cleric John Preston killing 118 of those people."
Following an apocalyptic Third World War, the strict government of the city-state Libria has eliminated war by suppressing all human emotion
