A masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2000)

What can be said about Blade Runner that has not been said before? It is, quite simply, the best - not because of special effects or fast paced action scenes, but because it has genuine depth. I own the letterboxed Director's Cut on DVD (my first) and have watched it many times, noticing more every time I see it - everything is open to interpretation and re-evaluation, and the most subtle nuance can put events in an entirely different perspective. The acting is superb, although Rutger Hauer steals the spotlight as Roy, giving a fantastically multifaceted performance. The visuals, acting, sound and music mesh perfectly to make Blade Runner a fantastic and deeply moving experience. If you haven't seen it, get it, NOW! And if you have, see it again anyway. You won't regret it.
