Title: Very different. And funky.
Product review: This film is wonderfully non-exploitative. It delves very lightly into the ideas behind the gaming world...and where it could go, and how it could affect our future. The game seems to surround the question of whether such realistic games could distort our reality. The film is clever in the way it pursues this initially, but falters a lot. It definitely has interesting situations...and a few twisted images. Cronenberg doesn't leave you with much to think about, just a few ooh's and ahh's. Jennifer Jason Leigh doesn't give much to the film. She's as whiny and annoying as ever with the exception of the lines "Did I win?", "Did I win?". That was endearing. It's a different sort of film which holds your attention, so for that alone it's worth seeing. It's light and Jude Law is worth watching without doubt. No pomp.
