Strange Days (1996)

My friend hadn't seen this movie so we watched it at my new place last night. This is my absolute favourite sci-fi movie and we ended up talking about it for an hour after it was finished. Seriously if you have not seen this movie and are interested in a show don't tell approach to storytelling, you really need to see this movie. For an added bonus there's a lot of scenes where Juliette Lewis is naked.

I expected a hell of a lot more. Now it's not a bad film by any means nor is it a boring one. My attention was kept throughout the whole film due in part by some great acting by Tom Hardy and Guy Peirce, some great music, and of course the setting being in early 20th century America, but having said that the story is nothing special. Nick Cave has had his better screenplays. The whole things was just very cliche to me and in my opinion lazy screenwriting. Oh and if you want to see this one because Gary Oldman is in it, don't. I've held my breath longer than his screen time. It was really strange.

I see it's got a 64% on RT and that's deserved. A well made but ultimately average movie.

6/10

Wouldn't really consider this a "film", but I have watched it multiple times and didn't know where else to put it.

Australian films don't get any recognition but this one certainly deserves too. Jackie Weaver was very good and the screenplay was written well. The characters were engaging and the ending was very well done. If you like good family dramas with a criminal twist check this one out.

7.5/10

it was pretty good actually....although not as good as i thought it would be....i just felt it was a bit over the top and although i agree with many of his ideas of what American society has become...i felt they were a bit too fantastical....but that's just me and in all honesty it did not take much from the movie for me

Your picture has died my friend. I hope it's last moments were magical.
