Strange Days
Originally released: 1995
3 days to the end of time in LA, simultaneously hosting the Rodney King riots and Blade Runner. Jericho One, rapper/prophet, is dead. It's a one-way handbasket to hell. Don't worry. The Magic Man, Lenny Nero (Fiennes), will sell you dreams in the highly illegal form of squid – recordings of sense-data. While obsessing over his ex (Lewis), now shagging the slimy mogul (Wincott) who managed Jericho, Lenny gains possession of a squid of Jericho's death. People start dying. Only one woman (Bassett) can save Lenny's bad-tie-wearing butt, her community, and y'all. The end of the world as we know it, and damn fine.
