The film didn't know if it was a detective story or science fiction. (Vangelis' music didn't seem to know either---saxophone lines right out of '50s film noir detective movies played over rambling electronic sequencer lines.) One thing I was *extremely* pleased with about the movie was the setting. It's about time we got to see what Los Angeles will look like in the negative utopia of the future. Frankly, I'm sick and tired of New York getting the brunt of the abuse in 'dark dingy city of the future' movies. The "losangelocentrism" of the movie industry often produces films that malign the Big Apple. Finally L.A. gets a taste... Rich pyuxjj!rlr
