1st viewing I didn't like it. 2nd viewing I loved it.
I'm not sure what it is with this movie, but about 4 years ago I watched it for the first time and wasn't really that fond of it. Unlike some, I thought the cast was pretty good. Craig was a very likable lead and Gretchen absolutely gorgeous. The concept of time hopping inside a virtual reality program was very intriguing and the murder mystery was compelling, but I didn't really "get it" at the time. Over time it kinda stayed there in the back of my mind and I'd ramdomly find myself thinking about it, trying to figure it out. Fast forward to today and here I am watching it again and I'm finding it to be a terrific sci-fi noir with many of the best elements (Blade Runner, Dark City) the genre has to offer.
