Killer Idea

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2013)

Not sure if it's me or the critics who are missing something here, but seriously, this could have been the sequel to Blade Runner.
Had Ridley Scott gotten ahold (it's a r3al word, trust me) of the material, perhaps it would have gotten way bigger than it did. And who produced and directed 'Interview With the Vampire?' I suspect some sort of ego scenario here. I mean, I've been through some of Phil Dick's books and spent a lot of time with a friend he had in his life, and to my recollection, neither one of us ever came close to developing such a cool sci-fi scenario as this.
The acting is very good on the part of all (especially the guy who plays the girl's dad), but some of the costuming is slightly retarded and the cinematography is not what it could have been. All people have neon green time clocks embedded into their forearms indicating how long they have left to live. The visual on this could have been done way better.
So but possibly it's not an ego scenario. Investors just sit around handing out cash expecting an ROI -- they don't know when they've got an Amazon or a Google or a Hitchcock on the line. Let's face it: they've got no discernment.
