New Rose Hotel
Welcome to a brave new world.
From acclaimed writer William Gibson comes an exotic cyberpunk fantasy where technology is the ultimate game and nobody plays by the rules. To engineer the score of their lives, two friends (Christopher Walken and Wilem Dafoe) train an amoral bar girl (Asia Argento) how to seduce and induce a radical geneticist worth billions to his corporate masters. Be prepared for a riveting vision of a frightening future, where global corporations control the world and high stakes industrial espionage is where the action is.

Terrible. Gibson fans and human beings, skip it! - Cottser
Chances are, you've heard about this movie because you're a fan of William Gibson's work. I'm a huge fan myself. I beg you, rent something else! Johnny Mnemonic is better than this, go (re)watch that instead.
This is a stinking mess of a movie. Confusing as all hell, even if you've read Gibson's short story. I think the story could have been made into a great movie. This is NOT it. This is neither riveting nor frightening - it's slow and uninteresting. Full of questionable choices by the filmmakers and writer.
The original story by William Gibson is largely based on flashbacks. So are the last 20+ excruciating minutes of this film. For the most part, it's just repeated footage that we've already seen, sometimes from a different camera.
The only things saving this from a one-star rating are the cast (Walken himself improvised a number of good lines), and the eye candy provided by Asia Argento.
If you insist on renting it, at least watch the trailer first. That way you can see most of the decent parts of the movie before renting it :)With the talent involved I expected more - Superdave
This was disappointing. The film never creates the tense, doom-laden atmosphere of William Gibson's short story about corporate espionage in a grim near-future setting, leaving the viewer to spend a numbing hour and half with unheroic and uninteresting characters doing not much of anything. The original story had little in the way of plot as well. It did, however, have a great overlying menace, set in a world where cutthroat corporate Gestapos kill to protect the technology they control. Here you only get a vague hint of that for the first ten minutes, at which point the film settles into a slice-of-lowlife study of its downbeat characters and loses all forward momentum. Watch DEMONLOVER instead for a similar story done right.
