CGiii Comment

Before the (un)happy couple split - they made this...codswallop.

Too long and marred by some truly dreadful performances.

The writing, in parts, is an absolute joke - sorry Mr Cameron but, at times, it makes you want to cringe - it really is that bad.

The whole thing - really - is atrocious.

And, look what they want on to do after they split. Some marriages are not made in Heaven.

The(ir) Blurb...

In 1999, Los Angeles is racial war zone with the army and LSPD and SWAT officers fighting Afro-American people. The former cop Lenny Nero is a dealer of illegal recording in CDs that gives the memories and sensations of the recorder to the user. He buys the recordings from the supplier Tick; he misses his former mistress Faith, who was a hooker and now is a singer; his best friend is the private eye Max Peltier and the limousine driver Lornette 'Mace' Mason, who has unrequited love for him. Two days before the turn of the century, the black rapper Jeriko One is murdered. The hooker Iris seeks Lenny out but there is an incident and they do not talk to each other. However she drops a recording into Lenny's car while he unsuccessfully tries to meet Faith at a night-club. However her boyfriend Philo Gant does not let them talk. When Lenny learns that Iris was sadistically raped and killed, he gets involved in a sick scheme and discovers dirty hidden secrets.
