I'm always surprised at the number of people who saw Strange Days because that was a movie that got lost in the shuffle in the 90s, nobody saw it, but apparently it found an audience in home video and developed a cult following.Bigelow is one of the best directors when it comes to style, her movies have a unique look to it and Strange Days is very much techno-noir, but at the same time it has a social commentary which is very current to today's world with police violence, corruption and racism.Fiennes is effective as Lenny Nero, a man obsessed with his ex, Faith (Juliette Lewis, doing her vapid baby doll act), who gets caught in a dangerous situation but Angela Bassett steals the movie as Mace, a badass African-Woman who beats up bad guys and protects Lenny from evil cops, crazed punk junkies and psychotic drag queens. The whole movie is an acid trip. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2X99VtI
