Review of Strange Days (1995) by Nickthecritick — 18 Apr 2022
Los Angeles December 30, 1999, last moments of the 20th century. The end of a millennium of a world in ruins, prey to anarchy, severely repressed by the police. Set in an apocalyptic metropolitan future not very distant then: a near future in which a new drug, the squid (which allows you to experience the experiences of others in the first person) supplants the old ones, with an effect of absolute substitution of the ego. The gimmick of the new narcotic in circulation gives the cinematic viewer the impression of perceiving and seeing everything live.
The power of shots and cinematography in this movie are unbelievable as well as the editing. This movie turns out to be one of the very best movies of '90s and surely and half masterpiece.
