Mesmerizing Effect

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2006)

Not only is this my top sci-fi film it is among my top 5 favorite films. The story line, music (Vangelis), cinematography and acting are top-notch and blend perfectly. Harrison Ford is at his best. Sean Young is a perfect pair-up compared to Harrison's usual supporting actresses. This is also one of Rutger Hauer's best performances. Casting is perfect from Joanna Cassidy to Darryl Hannah to Edward James Olmos,great performances. A+ on screenplay and direction and for taking a short story that I always loved and making it work beyond my imagination. The dark, gritty texture of the perceived futuristic L.A. is believable, even 25 years after the film's making. The film is truly mesmerizing. Do androids dream of electric sheep? You bet they do.
