Tough futuristic thriller

2030. Global warming and a severe economic recession have caused America to become a grim dystopia in which folks who are deemed unproductive are sent to a place called New Eden. Government agent Noah Kross (a fine performance by Nicholas Cage) helps desperate mother Rachel Weller (a solid and sympathetic portrayal by Sarah Lind) and her son Lucas (a nicely feisty Jakob Davies) elude deportation after discovering the brutal truth about New Eden.

Director Rob W. King relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, maintains a bleak'n'gritty tone throughout, makes good use of a desolate landscape, gives the characters a certain wounded humanity, and stages the exciting action with flair. Moreover, the sound acting from the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Hugh Dillon as the ruthless Adam Westinghouse, Vicellous Shannon as the eager Agent Porter, and Kurt Max Runte as helpful renegade Adolf Schroder. A neat little flick.

Don't get your hopes up for this one...

Let's just be blunt; this is a Nicolas Cage movie...

...and with that statement, then you already know what you are in for.

The story in "The Humanity Bureau" is very slow paced, and it is also a very simplistic storyline that offers very little in terms of twists and surprises.

The storyline just trotted on in a very mundane and monotonous tone, which gave next to no variation to events or thrills.

The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the little material they had to work with.

I looked at the clock after what had felt like 2 hours something, but was shocked to find that only a single hour had passed.

This is not among the best of Nicholas Cage movies. But then again, doesn't really offer much of a challenge to become that, now, does it?

Extremely predictable

THE HUMANITY BUREAU is another hackneyed sci-fi movie seemingly inspired by the look of LOOPER and by the plot of a dozen dystopian fables along the likes of EQUILIBRIUM and the like. Nicolas Cage slums it as a government agent tasked with removing undesirables to a place called 'Eden', where they're rehabilitated and the like. He ends up falling for a single mother and her boy and helping them to evade the system, thus becoming a fugitive himself. It's a time-old premise done much better previously, and the budget is low here meaning few effects. Some half-hearted action doesn't really count for much, and that oh-so-obvious twist is one you can guess from the very first scene.
