Brimming with implants from other movies, Len Wiseman’s Philip K Dick via Arnie revisit is a thriller in search of an identity.
The focus on a befuddled drone/super-spy (Colin Farrell) is expected, but the future urban sprawl, digi-mayhem and robo-fighters echo Metropolis, Blade Runner, I, Robot… you name it, Len nicks it.
Slick as the FX look, the personality shortfall is compounded by casting fails and botched concepts, with Dick’s real/fake intrigues incinerated by the noisy climax.
Maybe the extended cut (unseen) adds nuance.
And maybe Santa is real.
