our comment. "That Lewis chick is mucho annoying!"
It is 1999, and urban society is little more than a vast wasteland of anarchic violence. Seedy, burnt-out ex-cop Lenny Nero caters to the sensation-seeking citizens by dealing in clips: virtual reality sequences where the user can relive the experiences of another, including robberies, rape and murder. But Lenny's life is turned upside-down when two rabid cops, who want an incriminating clip that Lenny possesses, begin to pursue him. Furthermore, Lenny, with the help of female bodyguard Mace, is desperately searching throughout the chaotic enclaves of L.A for his ex-girlfriend Faith, who he still loves (looooser!!). Everything comes to a head at a wild, tremendous and turbulent New Year's eve party that will usher in the millennium.

This movie is better than your average popcorn drivel, but don't expect too much or you'll be very dissapointed. I was.

Your e-mail:
Story: 5/10 - The sci-fi story is quite good, but the thriller aspect is lame and way too obvious.

Acting: 6/10 - Good performances, but that Lewis chick is mucho annoying.

Violence: 4/10 - A little more than Point Break, and a little less than Near dark. Get it?

Nudity: 0/10 - Did I mention that it was made by a woman, pretty neat huh!

Coolness: 5/10 - Pretty good, but you would have to glue it to your membrane, in order for it to stick.
