The 6th Day

Arnold Schwarzenegger's latest flick, The 6th Day, has been out in the cinemas for a while, and I was originally going to wait until the DVD release to see it. After a hard day of work and dealing with removalists yesterday (yes, it's all in transit somewhere right now), I was keen to sit back and enjoy an action blockbuster. Instead, I saw a movie that (almost) made me think. The 6th Day deals with the controversial topic of human cloning, indicating that 'sometime in the near future', the practice will be technically possible, but deemed illegal. Arnie is your everyday helicopter pilot chartering snowboarders for a living (a good excuse for lots of great action sequences). He gets caught up in a cloning experiment, uncovers the conspiracy, and manages to eventually kills all the bad guys. Pretty standard really, but thoroughly enjoyable.
