Solid and near perfect science fiction thriller.

Rating: 8/10 (18 October 2003)

Solid and near perfect science fiction thriller of a Philip K. Dick novel where a physically (and emotionally) worn-out former L.A. cop/blade runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is ordered by his superior officer to find four androids who may be in the city and "retire them".
What makes the movie (that's directed by Ridley Scott) work so effectively is the set direction and the view of Los Angeles in 2019 and that's just one of the few standouts here, the other two being Vangelis's smooth and haunting musical score and the superb and chilling performance from Rutger Hauer and Sean Young who does the opposite.
The lone problem that I have with "Blade Runner" is the script which isn't completely sharp and clever as the scenery is, but despite that flaw, I still enjoyed the movie.
