awesome movie!
I like Cronenberg movies and I had heard good things about this movie. The plot sounded really cool, but the whole thing ended up being quite predictable, which is not something usually said about a Cronenberg film.
Started strong, loses steam though still enjoyable.
The concept is interesting just the pacing is so slow!
This has not gotten any better in the years since I've watched it.
