Funny that you should bring up this movie. I just watched it, for the first time, last night.

Your critque is dead on. It starts out by capturing the viewer's interest right away, but as it moves on, something is lost, especially when, as you correctly labeled it, the "what if" martial law scenes begin.

While the scenes of our country coming under martial law are somewhat disturbing, and had the potential to bring this movie up a notch or two, the movie just fails to "go the distance" with those scenes. It was as though the makers of the film were afraid to really step over that line.

An interestingly fast start to a movie that gradually loses steam as it tries to progress.

I agree with the **1/2 star rating.
