Review

Bill Murray is the unlikely underworld-king overseeing this apocalyptic sci-fi adventure, in which a pair of friends (Saoirse Ronan and Harry Treadaway) race against time to uncover a secret that may save their city, where human existence is imperiled by the pending failure of a 200-year-old generator.
