IGN - What is there really left to say on the dystopian apocalypse genre anyway? If you've seen one you've seen 'em all, and Xavier Gens' The Divide is no outstanding exception. The movie has pretty much all you would expect: Gritty set-pieces, melodramatic performances from actors you vaguely recognize and a smattering of blood and primal sexuality to keep things interesting. You know the drill.
FMV says: "This Lord of the Flies-esque post-apocalyptic thriller is entertaining in a dark, nasty and murky way. It does not hesitate to make you feel uncomfortable, and it certainly makes you think how you would react if placed in a similar scenario - making The Divide well worth watching."
Jeremy of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Director of the controversial horror film Frontier(s) and one the better video game adaptations, Hitman, Xavier Gens is for the most part, an unknown ready to breakout. He doesn’t have a particular style that can be picked out from a mile away, but he does have an eye for taking simple concepts and expanding them into richer content. Hitman could have easily been ruined if a more mainstream director took the reins, but Gens respectfully remained faithful to the series while adding enough action and flare to warrant a big screen adaptation. The Divide is a post-apocalyptic film that’s more concerned with its characters than the actual end of the world setting. That is however, both the films biggest strength and biggest weakness."
IGN chats one-on-one with the actor and genre movie icon about his new film The Divide.
This was your typical story about how people react under pressure not unlike The Walking Dead but on a closed in smaller scale that forces you to do worst things. I don't think I would care to go see this at all ever.
