Strange Days (1995). This long and rather slow paced sci-fi uses its time to get to the climax with aplomb. The story itself was solid and intriguing, blending strong elements of technology and the non-PC realities in living the American dream, all set in the peri-apocalyptic moment of the new millenia. The acting was solid, though the dialog was at times lamentable. The direction was strong and the camera work excellent. Though it could have been editied down to around two hours, I suspect that Director Kathryn Bigelow had her reasons to do keep the reel so fat. Merci beaucoup.
