T'was watchable. You can predict the plot in the first 5 minutes though.

One of them goes rogue and the female and male become heroes who fall in love with each other?

Eh, close.  There really wasn't much of a love interest in it, the other girl was more of a minor character.

Anyways, I thought it was alright, but I wasn't a fan of some of the Cloverfield-style shaky cam.  It wasn't overtly offensive, but it was noticable.
It doesn't matter what you say, soon you'll be dead anyway.

I got to see it tonight, and quite liked it. I'm not a big fan of the Cloverfield/District 9/etc camera style myself, but I thought it was effective here, and I like how it they used multiple cameras throughout. It's also pretty fun throughout.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Have you seen Super 8?

It's way better than those shaky cam movies.

Man Bites Dog is another great documentary-style film. Quite the hilarious dark comedy if you can stomach the graphic violence and rape scene(s?).
