Slow at first, ended up brilliant. Very enjoyable.

Rating: 8/10 (18 September 1998)

Dark. Dark indeed. How can I explain it? Well, at various times it reminded me of Total Recall, any Terry Gilliam movie (especially 12 Monkeys and Brazil), Japanese anime, City of the Lost Children, and a splash of The Truman Show. Not for everyone, I'm sure, but worth a look.
A little slow at first, until you get the gist of what's going on. Keifer Sutherland's character was a bit annoying (rather two-dimensional) at times, but other characters are just as enthralling as his is distracting. I just love to see anything that includes Richard O'Brien (of Rocky Horror Picture Show fame) in the cast.
I enjoyed most of all the atmosphere, and just the fact that this film is not typical Hollywood drivel for the masses. Good music as well. Basically, if you're into weird or off-kilter films, give this one a try.
Thanks for your time.
