This was either my third or fourth time watching Strange Days. It might
just be because I first saw it when I was young and unjaded, or because I
love William Gibson’s stuff and it’s cool seeing it come to life, but
it’s still one of my favorite movies. The dystopian cyberpunk atmosphere
is great; there’s romance and action; all of the characters are
compelling; and Ralph Fiennes’ performance totally steals the show.
This was either my third or fourth time seeing Strange Days, and I still love it, even if it does look dated as hell these days. I wonder if someone who hadn’t read William Gibson’s stuff would have the same affinity for it, though. There’s just something cool about seeing something you read about being brought to life. The whole cyberpunk dystopian atmosphere is great.
