Eh, I just don't know what to say about this. It's watchable as a thriller, but not very original or memorable. Ridley Scott's best films remain ALIEN and BLADE RUNNER, both of which are genre pictures (horror and noir, respectively) wrapped in sci-fi trappings. Next in line would probably be THE DUELLISTS, a period picture but one with enough idiosyncrasies to stand out. This just feels like more of what we've seen before. Where's the vision? Well constructed, sure, but nothing that will stick with you. DiCaprio is fine, not much of a performance to comment on, though. Russell Crowe bores me, he just does nothing for me at all. Welp, I've got nothing else to say. It's a movie and I watched it and it was okay, now it's over.
