The Hollywood cliches couldn't be avoided

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 2019)

The atmosphere is well achieved, the acting performances are good. But compared to the book it's based on (do Androids dream of electric sheep), they changed some fundamentals of the plot unnecessarily, making the movie more vulgar. Why couldn't he like his job, be married and love his wife, like and respect his boss, still be employed and being career focused, wanting to own a real animal. All that was replaced by tense relationships and a common ex cop going through a rough patch. The plot loses his depth, which had to do with what makes us humans and becomes a disappointment for those who read the book.
