Disappointing from two greats

2 stars

This was a grind, to be honest.

I had previously read the script, and found it very generic, surprisingly so for Gibson, who is one of my favourite authors.

I had hoped that Cadigan might lift things, do something interesting with it. I don't know her work as well, and so don't know if she was deliberately writing as if for a late 80's, but it felt that way.

Badly edited I felt also, there was some repetition, and just a dragging on that should have been dealt with better.

Don't recommend, I'm afraid. There is better work from both to warrant your time.
