Whoever wrote this movie didn't really think it through all the way, that or they'd never taken an economics course. Here we go: nobody is being born so your population (and your economy) is dwindling... what do you do? Kick out all the immigrants!

No. That's dumb. If anything, you would encourage people to migrate into your country.

Also, it would have been a lot more believable if the whole reason everyone was going bat**** and killing each other was because the economy was going to hell and everyone was getting fired and nobody could afford anything, rather than just... oh no more babies I'm angry let's firebomb things.

So yeah, I had some qualms with this movie. If you just take it as an action flick, however, it's pretty good. The problem is it tried to be more than that.
