Knocked-out!

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2000)

Just to say that this was a very well-paced film, and the special effects were the best ever - in a day and age when this is becoming increasingly difficult. Could be seen as a trifle slow at first, and somewhat dialogue-bound at times, nonetheless becomes a gripping drama. This is the only film I could place in the same league as Blade Runner - my favourite. It needs further viewing, as there is a lot of eye candy to take in, but the atmosphere is superb. Quite a few nods to other movies, I fear, but this gave it a much-needed tongue-in-cheek overlay.
