A blockbuster movie directed by John Woo and starring no less than four A-list actors at the height of their popularity, in a movie based on Philip K. Dick’s short story. What could go possibly wrong? Well, a lot of things. When the dust settled, the movie may have recouped its costs thanks to the international box office, but that didn’t save it from being savaged by the critics. In the current cultural climate, the critical response may be common for both the movie and the short story, but other than that and the basic premise they aren’t much alike.
