Futuristic Apres noir with added androids

Rating: 5/10 (4 November 2005)

This is possibly one of the worst films in existence. A confusing narrative a frankly weak plot and a lame attempt to imitate the micro elements of the far superior classic noir films, i.e. "Double Indemnity"
If the conventions were adhered to properly then this film would have some potential, however instead of mimicking chiaroscuro lighting, it has been deemed necessary to create an entirely different version of this, by having spaceships fly past the windows. This is dreadful and detracts attention away from the actual film and doesn't add to the overall film.
Also there is a distinct lack of Femme Fatale in this film and the only women who could be classed as the Femme Fatale, looks like has come straight from the classic noir predecessor of this film, however she has none of their manipulative qualities and simply does what she is told. At one point she is almost raped by Harrison Ford's character!
Also the "twist" at the end is highly predictable and not very well done. This film has potential and uses none of it. Apres noir is not a good idea!
