THRILL RATING
The Ballad of Halo Jones
An amazing portrait of a young woman's life on a fantastic but ultimately banal future Earth: Halo Jones is pushed and pushed to escape and try to capture a dream, rather than allow her life to become a repetetive struggle. Owing something to A Clockwork Orange, this seems otherwise very much Moore and Gibson's wonderfully imaginative collaboration.
