Clerick John Preston (Christian Bale) is a top ranking government agent responsible for destroying those who resist these rules. When he misses a dose of Prozium, a mind-altering drug that hinders emotion, Preston, who has been trained to enforce the strict laws of the new regime, suddenly becomes the only person capable of overthrowing it. -- © 2002 Dimension Films [More]

Reviews
C’est un film qui rivalise avec les plus gros blockbusters hollywoodiens. Je l’ai trouvé beaucoup plus satisfaisant que The Matrix Reloaded.
... Equilibrium is one of the better action/sci-fi movies of the year ...
If you were disappointed by recent sci-fi actioners like Terminator 3, then you’d probably be pleasantly surprised by this underappreciated movie . . .
Wimmer delivers the already labored story with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
50% homage to the classic science fiction touchstones and 50% damn solid in its own right.
Apesar de obviamente inspirado em Matrix (para não citar 1984 e Fahrenheit 451, entre outros), o filme convence graças ao interessante dilema emocional de seu protagonista e às intensas coreografias das seqüências de ação.
An entertaining but unspectacular film. Pretty goofy at times - but the slick and gleefully self-indulgent violence will not disappoint the action fan.
'Equilibrium' succeeds primarily because of Christian Bale's uncanny ability to project the awakening soul of the character he portrays.
You could rant at me for hours all the reasons it sucks, and I'd probably agree with most of them -- but the point is, I had fun.
The dumbest view of the future I've seen (and, reader, I survived John Travolta in Battlefield Earth).
