Last of the E's and it's a good one too! It's been a good six or so years since I've sat down to watch this classic mind-twist movie. Then game-within-a-game-within-a-game that goes on to an Inception-level of intricacy. Jennifer Jason Leigh is fantastic as Allegra Gellar, the "game designer" (or is she?) And Jude Law is so young, it's adorable.
I can't say too much without giving this plot away. But gaming has gone to an all-new level in this futuristic movie. You "port in" through a "bio-port" directly into your spine. The concept makes me shiver just thinking about it. But that's how you play the game, so everyone has a bio-port and people don't do any real activities anymore, since you can now simulate just about everything in your mind. Cool concept. Possibly a real prediction of our future. I guess we'll have to see.
In the mean time, watch this one if you like twists, mind games, and intrigue. Enjoy!
