Title: A drearyt B-grade flick that doesn't deserve any shelfspace
Review: Blade Runner starts out slow and dreary, and ends with a depressing killing spree, knee-deep in moral (and storytelling) ambiguity. The film depicts a society where value of human life is very low. The technical gimmick of this film is the use of made-to-order disposable human laborers (with built in expiration dates). When there's a sensitive or dangerous job to be done--make a few slaves, give them the memories and training they need to do the job, and dump them in the recycle when the job is done. But what if they want more out of life... or just a few more years of it? This film is not exactly family viewing, and it's too nasty to keep in my collection.
