The performance by Joseph D. Reitman makes this an outstanding film. The Isaiah character could have become "camp" very easily. Reitman's performance makes the character pure cold evil and frighteningly believable. The rest of the cast also present good, solid performances. The dusty, lonely desert locations add just the right backdrop for a story of desolation of our civilization. While the story isn't new, it's told much better than most post-apocalyptic movies relying more on character studies rather than chase scenes and crashing cars. Thank God that Isaiah's mantra is not that of most of the world's population. I've heard that this film could be made into a full length feature. I hope that's true; it would be a good one, especially with Reitman in the Isaiah role.
