Hong Kong police noir film with key moments of black comedy: A fatso cop loses his gun and asks his friend in PTU not to report it. Nicely shot and edited. A modern classic.

Looks impressive as a noir action-fantasy thriller. But it tries too hard to be edgy with all the sex and violence and comes across as a bit too cheese.

Post-apocalyptic cyberpunk with some detective noir inspiration. Visually excellent, dark and gritty. Starts strongly but tries too hard to be cerebral. Too slow and bloated.

Starts compelling enough. Tries to be dark and gritty. No shortage of splatter. Both the storytelling and visuals have taken its title to heart a bit too much.

Nothing particularly stunning but interesting enough. True to the spirit of the two franchises. Well-paced and consistently good production.

A nicely produced spin-off that tells the same story from the perspective of two young private investigators Rena and Sato.

Attempts to be in the spirit of the original. It does have the look and feel. Not brilliant but still moderately engaging and entertaining.

Tight action-comedy. It is a bit silly but it’s meant to be. Nicely lit and shot.

Mecha-noir set in a domed city. Interesting premise but too ambitious. Somewhat unfocused and themes insufficiently explored.

Set in 2022. Food supply problems. Climate issues. Government handouts. And a corporation that controls it all. Seem familiar?

Although there is nothing particularly new, the story is intriguing enough with strong characters and it does look good.

The source material for the modern classic Blade Runner, this novel focuses on Deckard more so than the film.

Set in the 25th century, humans have the technological means to store their consciousness in “stacks” at the base of the skull...

Slow and uneventful, even for noir. The plotting and pacing could use some improvement.
