S.W.’s Verdict
Ridley Scott asked what it means to be human and then made the answer look like a neon-soaked fever dream. The pacing is deliberate — this is a detective film, not an action film. Rutger Hauer's final monologue was partially improvised and it became the single best death scene in science fiction. Watch the Final Cut.
