Author: artisticsniper from United States

Richard Kelly attempted to mix Warhol and PKD and just came out with this dreck...

the score is very reminiscent of Vangelis' opus from Blade Runner- in a botched attempt to honor the great film -

- the dialog is trite- -the science is poor and tries to just on the bandwagon of preposterousness that was Buckaroo Bonzai- -the directing of the actors was just half-witted- look at anyone's hand- Boxer has this 'twitch' where he taps his fingers when needing to make an important decision - which in turn makes the actor's performances unbearable

i'm reporting this as i am watching the movie and i want to rip my eyes out

i don't think i can go on

this is SO BAD

i don't think its even worth a bad dare0 i would much rather have a Paris Hilton marathon than see this again
