Movie Review by B Movie Ben
March 30th, 2008

This is not like "TV-only-better"... this is life.

Favorite Movie Quote: "Look... everyone needs to take a walk to the dark end of the street sometimes, it's what we are."

Kathryn Bigelow has done a very good job in directing James Cameron's (The Terminator, Aliens, Rambo) screenplay into a non-stop action sci-fi thriller that was a pleasure to watch.

Ralph Fiennes (Schindler's List) has to choose between two beautiful women: Angela Bassett (What's Love Got to Do With IT) and Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Kills). He makes the right choice at the end.

It is a fascination story where Nero (Fiennes) is peddling a drug that is way beyond YouTube - a virtual reality device with tapes of real life that let you experience things you never would do by yourself. This could make millions! He accidentally stumbles on police corruption that could set off Los Angeles like an atomic bomb if it we let out.

One by one, the police are hunting down those involved and it will soon be Nero's turn in the box. Vincent D'Onofrio (Men in Black, The Cell, "Law & Order: Criminal Intent") is superb as the rotten cop. At the same time Nero is trying to save Lewis, his best friend Max (Tom Sizemore) is trying to...well, I won't spill that, but it is a good trick.

It was entertaining throughout, and Brigitte Bako and Juliette Lewis both provide skintastic moments for our enjoyment.
