    Not going to lie, I chose to watch this based solely on the poster. Not surprised to see David Carradine, but was pleasantly surprised to see Sherilyn Fenn a few years before her time on Twin Peaks. The movie is kind of goofy, and it definitely has its flaws but I don’t regret watching it.

    Kind of clumsily touches on elements refined in future movies like Gattaca, Minority Report and others, but it’s still fun world building. My favourite tidbit is that in this world it’s normal for cops to conduct dick inspections. What a future.

      It has a really solid future look and a pretty lackluster everything else. ;) Fenn is great though! She’s really the movie’s saving grace. 😍
