The screenplay is by William Gibson, based on his short story (1981); Gibson doesn't write simple stuff, but parts of it are somewhat underdeveloped.
It resembles a Beta of Masamune Shirow's software running on cobbled together cyberpunk hardware. It's also somehow reminiscent of yakuza movies from a decade before. And it has Henry Rollins.
It's a good thing it got made when it did, because in a post-Matrix (1999) world it wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of existing as is.

As I've told you, it's been a very long time since I've made the time to watch it, but it's still very much in my collection. I will endeavor to rectify this. By watching it, not getting rid of it :erm:
I also like it mostly because...I just like it :laugh:
The room service outburst is surprisingly emotional and I've always connected with the general sentiment.
