Science Fiction Noir

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2020)

I had never seen Blade Runner until very recently but I had always heard great things about it and have always had it recommended to me but for some reason I just never got around to watching it then in December 2019 I finally sit down and watched it on Blu Ray and discovered the movie takes place in November 2019 kind of a weird but perfect coincidence.
The movie follows Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) a Blade Runner who's job it is to hunt down and kill Replicants advanced Synthetic androids who look, sound and act human and even bleed like a human the only way to tell them apart is by an advanced polygraph test that is designed to provoke an emotional response and monitor reactions of pupil dilations to measure a correct emotional response. Deckard is tasked with bringing down four Replicants to do so he must follow a trail of almost impossible bread crumbs that will lead him to his targets before they can track down the one person that can extend their lifespan and make them whole their father and creator who designed them.
The amazing cinematography in this movie is mind blowing and really does stand out with it's unique and cool Noir style and with Harrison Ford as the badass and cool futuristic detective Deckard this movie is a unique and visually stylish science fiction masterpeice that tells a unique and interesting story that takes it's time building suspence that leads up to an amazing third act where the hunter becomes the hunted.
The supporting cast and Co star's do an amazing job and includes Daryl Hannah as the beautiful looking but deadly replicant (Pris) and Rutgar Hauer as the lead replicant (Roy Batty) who only wants one thing to extend his life and be a free replicant and will go to any lengths to make that happen.
If you haven't seen this science fiction masterpeice I urge you to give it a watch it took me over 20 years to finally watch it and I wish I had watched it sooner as it is now one of my favourite science fiction movies.
