classic

simply a classic of the sci-fi genre.

its a mood piece really. a noir cop, in a future setting, hunting replicants who've entered the city illegally.

i personally like the original cut of the movie with the narration. i may be in the minority for this. both the director and the main actors hate that version, as do most fans. i think it adds to the feel of a noir movie, and it does help make the story understandable.

the additional scenes added in the director's cut are good though and there's nothing particularly wrong without the narration.

a must see.
