Amberfool’s review:
Don't know if it's a masterpiece, it's a bit cronky in places, but a nice sic-fi thriller all the same. Wish they had spent more time examining the nature of his reality a bit more though, as it was definitely the most interesting aspect of the film.
Love that part where he sticks that thing in his nose.
It's definitely got some very weird things in it that's for sure, though I would say the weird fat lady disguise or the three breasted prostitute might beat the nose thing.
I really need to rewatch this before the remake comes out. I think it comes out in September.
@SilentJoe August actually. I'm actually more interested in this remake then I am in most of the cash ins Hollywood churns out. I don't have any great enthusiasm for the director's back catalog, but he comes across as quite intelligent in the interviews I've read, and it doesn't look like a complete rehash either. Might actually be good.
