  “struggled to compete with Pulp Fiction” is certainly a phrase that shouldn’t count against a film!

  Strange Days is a classic?

  I thought of it as a bit too clunky in its execution. But I’ll admit Juliette Lewis has always been a distractingly terrible actor in my eyes. And she can’t sing either.

  I will admit it’s good enough to deserve a better reception than it’s theatrical release though.

    When I was 18, I was slinging tapes as a Blockbuster assistant manager, and my go-to recommendation for customers was Strange Days. Then at age 40, I finally realized I was trans, and somewhere down the line it occurred to me that my love of this film should have been a clue.

    It’s better as the sum of its parts. The lead performances were meh but the supporting cast were great.

    Juliette Lewis’s best singing and acting were in one movie.

    I think you misread it. £398,000.
