Future Tense
By Jeffrey M. Anderson In the first twenty minutes or so of Strange Days it seems like we're going to get a really good movie. It looks great, it has a great idea and a great cast (Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, Juliette Lewis, Tom Sizemore). But when the screenplay, by James Cameron, begins to take its interesting and new elements and weave them together in a way that we've seen a thousand times. Despite all the great ideas about the future (1999), pre-recorded dreams and memories, it turns into a lame whodunnit. The movie is directed by Kathryn Bigelow, the director of the cult movie Near Dark and the Hollywood hit Point Break. She is clearly someone with talent and vision, and that alone deserves admiration. She, with the help of her talented cast, constantly wrestles against the script, and for a great deal of time, she appears to be winning.
