The story (****)
How the story unfolds (**** Blade Runner is a movie that will grow on you. You can see it again and again and each time you will draw new meanings from it. A good bit of this mystique is due to the ambiguity of the story. It is never fully explained and does not offer up easy answers. You have to draw your own conclusions, however, the data provided are extremely rich and can be interpreted in any number of ways. Some maintain that Deckard himself is a replicant, while others deny it. Even the cast members have publicly stated opposing interpretations of the movie.)
The characters (**** There are no good guys and really no bad guys - in fact the most likeable character is one of the replicants--Roy Batty played with aplomb by Rutger Hauer in his best performance I’ve seen.)
