Very good entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (7 September 2006)

Completely delirious flick (something you could expect with a schizophrenic hero :)) that tackles more subjects than I thought possible without having the plot collapse under its own weight.
Against all odds this little UFO of a movie does a pretty good job of it. It managed to move me from the first to the last scene. The director achieves a subtle balance of humor and seriousness, quietly unfolding the crazy plot without ever overdoing it. The movie is never patronizing or pretentious, as it could have been for the aesthetics of the pictures and deliberate obscurity of the script.
Surely the surprisingly good performances from young and talented actors, very pleasant typically 80's soundtrack and ironic glance at the post-Reagan transition contributed to the effect of the already efficient mix of teen angst and sci-fi.
That is certainly cult movie stuff. Well worth a try.
