Laughable sf but with good action and crime story

Rating: 3/10 (13 October 2002)

The crime story of this movie was gripping and entertaining. It has all the elements of a classical plot, unpredictable with somewhat strange turns and connections (maybe Spielberg goes too far here), typical main character with a difficult past, and a chase filled with action that reminds me of the movie "The Fugitive". But what brings the movie down is its extreme fiction. I like sf, but the absurd future vision, though from time to time enjoying, is way too much. The movie is also overloaded with intrigues, which makes it too long and shallow for my taste. Go and see a classic instead, for example "Blade Runner".
