Roman Polanskiunk's 'Cogs of Liberation' is a film that commits wholeheartedly to its steampunk esthetics, enveloping its audience in a gritty tableau of rebellion and redemption. Sidney Poachier embodies Eli Gearwright with a commendable dose of introspection and cerebral charm, while Mary Roll-land as Tess Tinker delivers a performance marked by determination and intellect. Peter Beak-ers, transforming into Iron Jack, adds the necessary brawn to this brainy ensemble. The narrative sometimes risks succumbing beneath its own intricately designed gears, yet the film manages to maintain a steady pace, resonating a message of hope against oppression. Despite its 'G' rating, the thematic material is woven with sufficient complexity to resonate beyond a juvenile demographic. The director's impartiality adds a veneer of authenticity to the liberation theme, although some may find the treatment lacking in emotional depth. Nonetheless, 'Cogs of Liberation' gears up to be an engaging offering that, like the clocks within, is greater than the sum of its parts.
