Gritty classic

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2003)

Famed for its fantastic portrayal of a future that wasn't clean, shiny, and full of helpful robots. Blade Runner really gave a kick to the cinema industry with its dark urban setting, harsh flourescent lighting contrasting starkly with the dingy surroundings that Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) finds himself in. Music that chills, acting that thrills, and an unforgettable opening shot.
