Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

gogoschka-1 Probably one of the best big-budget sci-fi films to never reach a big audience. Written and produced by James Cameron and expertly directed by Kathryn Bigelow, this film is more noir than actual sci-fi - although the sci-fi elements are important. With a great cast and an amazing atmosphere throughout, this is one not to miss for fans of thrillers, film noir, sci-fi and especially the subgenre knwon as cyberbunk. 8 stars out of 10.In case you're interested in more underrated masterpieces, here's a list with some of my favorites:imdb.com/list/ls070242495

cinemamaestro1 This is truly an under-appreciated master work which deserves many, many, many repeat viewings. Initially released in 1995 to wan box office and mixed reception, "Strange Days" resonates more than ever today with its bleak depiction of a world dominated by virtual reality obsession and the desire to be anyone, anywhere else for a moment in time. Director Kathryn Bigelow meticulously and expertly stages every scene, from the opening roof top chase to the climactic New Year's Eve countdown. The film also features some of the best ever performances from Ralph Fiennes as a slick but conscientious hustler, Angela Bassett as a tough but honorable limo driver, Juliette Lewis as a confused rock singer, and Tom Sizemore as a seemingly non-threatening sidekick with a dark agenda. Had this film been released today and given a more careful marketing scheme, it would have really reached the audience it deserved. Never the less, it remains an A-grade, ahead of its time futuristic thriller.

cedricm-01075 Although this movie was made twenty years ago, it is very telling of where society of present day is heading. This sci-fi thriller is very suspenseful and tackles many topics connected to today. I was moved by the portrayal of of cop relations with African-Americans. Just having it being represented in this film shows that police brutality has been a recurring issue for quite some time. This film is reminiscent of George Orwell's novel 1984 in the since that it is foretelling of the future if technology and power structures are not kept under control. However, I feel that the portrayal of the squibs was a little corny. I Other than that, I found it to be a pretty decent film.

SnoopyStyle It's the last days of 1999 in a violent Los Angeles. Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) is an ex-cop who trades in clips of recorded memories. Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) records the wearer's brain waves which can be played and experienced. The technology is illegal and he works in the black market. Meanwhile, call girl Iris (Brigitte Bako) barely escapes from policemen Burton Steckler (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Dwayne Engelman (William Fichtner). They discover that she was wearing a SQUID. She finds her friend Lenny's car and slips him a clip. Lenny still misses his ex Faith Justin (Juliette Lewis) who left him for music producer Philo Gant (Michael Wincott). Max Peltier (Tom Sizemore) is Lenny's brash scraggly lowlife friend. Mace (Angela Bassett) is his more put-together friend.Fiennes has great jittery sleaziness. I like the idea of this gritty near-future including its campy touches. James Cameron may have stuffed in too much story. The movie needs to cut out something and I would probably pick Faith. Iris can instead be Lenny's ex. It would elevate the intense need to find her. The rest could be a great revenge film. The movie is so full that it doesn't really need the extra twist. Kathryn Bigelow's direction is good although she may need more substance to throw at the screen. She needs a bit more special effects and a little less of the cheaper looking real world stuff. A desolate street is just as effective as one filled with people. It looks like she tried to stage multiple riots which ends up looking cheesy. The money could be better spent with a trashed abandoned bad side of the town. The story gets a bit too complex and some simplification would be helpful.
