You really wonder how any movie, of any genre, could be as good as this.

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2013)

After 30+ years, and two weeks after watching this movie for the first time, I realized that this movie, for me, has just unseated Blade Runner. That's how I feel about the absolutely masterful film-making and care that went into this. I don't even want to talk about it - in fact, I can't. I've tried to write what exactly this film is here, and well, you can't summarize a kaleidoscope, now can you? So it can't be done here. Only in person, with a friend, or just watch this film, and look at everyone's expressions in this film, right down to the characters near the bottom of the cast list. Everybody is part of this film, and everybody looks like they are living it. And things left for the audience to figure out about the characters all add up to a great respect for the audience and for the idea of thoughtfulness itself. I said to my girlfriend, this movie is about as far from Mel Gibson in those Lethal Weapon movies, making those Three Stooges moves and then going crazy on someone, as any action movie is ever going to get. The darned movie even makes you want to be a better person. Go figure.
