Doomsday

Recently i saw the film Doomsaday. Now when i say recently i mean, about 2-3 weeks ago. I have been patiently waiting for this film to come out, as i love the actress who has the lead role, Rhona Mitra.
I have followed most of her work from Hollowman and Party of 5 to The Practice and Boston Legal.
She is an excellent actress and doesn't get nearly as enough credit as she should do. She was the original Lara Croft Actress and has been in many "Big-Named" films.
So you can imagine i was overjoyed to hear that she had the staring role in Doomsday, not so much that she was the lead Female character, but the Lead character, she was no damsel in distress or a side character.
The film is set in a futuristic world where a Retro virus has all but wiped out Scotland. The sole survivor being Eden (Mitra).In the first few minutes of the film we see Eden being shot by guards preventing the Scottish people from leaving, and she is handed over to the armed forces to be taken to England.
Fast forward some 10years and we see a grown up Eden. That is where the main story starts, Survivors have been spotted in Glasgow and Eden has been given a team to go up to Scotland to retrive the serum for the virus.

I am a fan of most action films, it takes a bit to interest me though, if a Film has a good plot and good characters i will watch it. This has everything, bar romance for Eden, which in all honesty i was quite relieved. It would have taken away from her character.
I am so happy that the lead character is a woman, as she is excellent, she kicks ass, literally, theres no messing around. Shes a strong character, i don't think any other actress could have pulled off this role. Rhona played it to perfection and i will most definitely be buying it when it comes out.

If you have the chance to watch this film do, it is excellent, it deserves alot more press than it is getting.
