A fantastic cyberpunk action/thriller with a decent mystery. Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett (particularly Angela Bassett) are amazing in it. Even Juliette Lewis, despite not being the best actress in the world, is perfect for her role. Also, the best New Year's movie ever, and a fine chaser to Christmas's Die Hard marathon. Make a new tradition today!

One of my favourites movie from Kathryn Bigelow with Point Break and K19, just before she decided to work for the army with The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty. So disappointing ...

The film has interesting set of characters. Our hero Lenny (Ralph Fiennes) is not the typical action hero with martial prowess, instead he got his loyal, reliable friend Mace (Angela Bassett) who always come at desperate measure. It puts Lenny closer to us the audience, with us hoping Mace would come when Lenny slowly unveils the mystery he is facing. However, with a considerable one hour-long build up, the ending to Strange Days seem to be a bit rushed and turned out the answer to the mystery pretty much simple--too simple, even. The characters involved in the mystery also don't seem to have a strong motive to be involved with the round of events to begin with. It makes the tense kinda wear off really fast and left an unsatisfying feel as the credits roll on.

Faith Justin: You know one of the ways movies are still better than playback? The music comes up, there's credits, and you always know when it's over... [turns to look at Lenny] IT'S OVER!

A relatively unknown movie despite Kathryn Bigelow as director, James Cameron as writer, Ralph Fienes, Angela Basset and Juliette Lewis in main roles, a pretty original concept (at least at the time) and a good enough story. That's a shame.

Society is, let's say pre apocalyptic. A lot of More

This was one of the oddest films that I have seen in a long time. The story is set in an apocalyptic 1999 Los Angeles. Crime and rebellion are everywhere and Virtual Reality is the new drug. People's life experiences are recorded onto video using a technology developed by the government but now More
