A sci-fi drama set in L.A during the last days of 1999. It was co-written by James Cameron, so it’s typically overblown and overlong but there’s a solid story within. Lenny is a black market trader of real life experiences, recorded moments seen through someone else’s eyes that can be re-lived by anyone. Want to know what infidelity is like without ever laying hands on another person? Lenny can provide. Of course, there’s an even darker side to human activity that can also be exploited.
Lenny’s life moves at a fast pace and the camerawork reflects that. It's not as nauseating as it could've been, but nor is it wholly beneficial to the story.
Most of the acting is good, though. My favourite being Angela Bassett; everyone needs a friend like Angela.
