Equilibrium
Why's the black guy there? He's not even a main character.

So we have created a new arm of the law: the Grammaton Cleric, whose sole task it is to seek out and eradicate the true source of man's inhumanity to man: his ability to feel.
Father

Ultra-violent (although surprisingly bloodless) science fiction action film that either rips off or brilliantly homages every great work of dystopian fiction (particularly We). Although it's completely unoriginal, it's well-liked for being totally shiny.

Due to its similar aesthetic, Equilibrium is often accused of ripping off The Matrix, although it is completely free of wire work and Bullet Time. Stars a pre-Batman Christian Bale as John Preston, who has one of the highest personal on-screen body counts of any film character.

Also notable for having, at its climax, what is possibly the single coolest one-on-one gun battle ever filmed. At a two-foot range.

Equilibrium created and named the Gun Kata trope.
