Strange Days (no longer available to stream) is a weird, awesome, compelling movie. It stars a very wide range of people before they came to wider attention. Ralph Fiennes (excellent as always), Vincent D'Onofrio (creepy and convincing), Juliet Lewis, Angela Basset (smokin') , etc. It came out about the same time as Johnny Mnemonic, and it's a lot like that movie would be if it didn't suck. Set 5 minutes in the future, on the eve of Y2K, I really love all the small background details. Ralph Fiennes is an ex-cop who now deals black-market VR disks. It's a little slow at the beginning, but don't give up on it until the who-dunnit kicks in around the half way mark.
B+
