Yet again a Philip K Dick short story has got the Hollywood treatment and lost most of the subtlety of the original. The result is a poor mess of original concepts from the short story with the meaning abandoned in favour of inappropriate action scenes and moody set pieces. No-one tries to turn in a good performance, almost as if realising this is a way to pay the bills rather than a worthwhile project.
If you are considering seeing this film I's recommend investing your money in the short story collection titled "Second Variety" (the original story name) instead. You'll get a story with much more thought and 26 other stories of equal imagination.
