If you switched places, identities and memories with someone else in your city, someone unknown to you, every night, how would you know? If we were all rats in a maze, some kind of experiment carried out for the enlightenment or entertainment of unseen forces, how would we know? This film plays with that classic conspiracy-theory idea in a very nice way. It's a beautiful mix of film noir and science-fiction that deserves a place right up there with Blade Runner. The metalepsis which occurs between the inner diegetic world and outer diegetic world is embedded in the narrative, for we follow a protagonist able to 'think outside the box' (similar to Neo in the Matrix).
8/10
