the film never create the tense and doom laden atmosphere of william gibson short story about corporate espionage in a grim near future setting and leave the viewer to spend a numbing hour and half with unheroic and uninteresting character do not much of anything . the original story have little in the way of plot a well . it do and however and have a great overlying menace and set in a world where cutthroat corporate gestapo kill to protect the technology they control . here you only get a vague hint of that for the first ten minute and at which point the film settle into a slice of lowlife study of it downbeat character and lose all forward momentum . watch demonlover instead for a similar story do right .
