Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) is a new-age drug dealer. He sells memories by “jacking in”- where someone records everything they saw, thought and felt during an event and you are able to experience it through an electrical device placed on the cerebral cortex. This technology is illegal, Lenny was fired from being a cop and lost his love, Faith Justin (Juliette Lewis), several years ago because of his involvement with the vice. Now his only friends are Mace Mason (Angela Bassett), a tough limo-driver who’s in love with Lenny, and a shaddy Private Detective, Max Peltier (Tom Sizemore). When Lenny stumbles into a police cover-up of a political murder, Lenny finds that people he trusts are stabbing him in the back and that everyone he cares about is in danger.

My quick rating - 7,9/10. (previous review) : So if you have or have not seen it, watch it. Spectacular movie.(2021) Lenny (played extraordinarily well by Ralph Fiennes) is a drug dealer and ex cop, peddling the latest high, "jacking in" which are illegal VR clips that put you in the event and you can hear/feel/smell everything. Think of the possibilities! Anyway, this mystery is that of a black jack video (think snuff flick) that captures a political murder, he must team up with his limo driving buddy Angela Basset and his still cop friend Tom Sizemore to piece together the whole conspiracy. In doing so he must figure out how his ex girlfriend (Juliette Lewis) and scumbag boyfriend (Michael Wincott, "The Crow") are involved in the whole cover up. The all star cast also includes Vincent D'Onfrio as a beat cop who may be more than just that. Along with a lengthy explanation of what you are about to see, I will just say that the scenery is phenomenal. Camera angles swoop in and out to really get you in the feel of what is going on, not just in the VR clips. So much attention to detail in this one, to the point I can watch it every year and still not get bored of it. Enjoy!!!
