I never thought much of Rupert Wyatt, assumed him to be a studio guy to safely direct a film, but with Captive State he shows so much punk, so much underground socio political commentary and style that i am now a fan. The film it self thinks it is smarter than it is, but it pays off at the end, it keeps you wanting to see more. All the acting is great but alot of the characters aren't developed. This lack of development works though as it rings is paranoia and this film has plenty. It feels inspired by Spielberg and especially Carpenter, namely They Live. To me this is the film Neil Blomkamp wishes he could have made.
