"Tears in rain" is a classic

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 1999)

I'm not going to try to pick apart Blade Runner, as many have done this before, and to a greater success than I. Suffice it to say, only watch the Director's Cut if I were you.
This movie features one of, in my opinion, the most poignant single scene of any movie. Rutger Hauer's 'tears in rain' speech in the film is moving, all the more so since he himself wrote the words now committed to movie folklore along with Star Wars and 2001.
The movie is so expansive, so detailed, you wish at one point you could take a flashlight into the street scenes and just LOOK at all the damn detail! Harrison Ford is excellent as Deckard, but he and Sean Young are superceded by Hauer's haunting performance as the malevolent, but disarmingly affectionate, Roy. See it several times to appreciate it.
