Review

poor john woo film that i saw when it first came out and revisited because it was on and i was bored. the idea is a good one and comes from a p.k.d. short story. it’s about being able to wipe out a person’s memory as well as being able to see into the future. there are some interesting elements that the film touches on, but none are explored deeply or in a meaningful or interesting way. woo trots out the mexican standoff motif and the dove a couple times, but it lacks his touch other than that. skip it.
