When I saw it? I was in Dublin, so Guinness, of course. :-) It was a pretty interesting film, especially seen there, where one could really *feel* the power of its vision of one possible future for Great Britain, in which immigrants were rounded up, put into detention camps, and sent "home." Glad to see it's getting noticed by critics and audiences now that it's finally out on a larger scale. It's a ballsy film.
