Ford gives one of his finest performances as the bladerunner assigned to track 4 escaped replicants. Edward James Olmos supporting character is appropriately creepy & Rutger Hauer couldn't have done a better job as the leader of the replicants. Awesome special effects as well make this one of the best sci/fi movies out there to this day!

An absolute cult classic.
the brooding, dark atmosphere of the film really draws you into the movie. Ridley scott did a superb job of adapting Philip.K.Dicks novel 'Do androids dream of electric sheep'. Harrison Ford plays the bounty hunter 'Rick Deckard' Who's job is to hunt down renagade androids known as Replicants that have come to earth (Which is illegal).
His assignment is his worst to date, hunting down a new generation of homicidal replicants that look comletely human and surpase humanity in every way. there a four nexus-6 androids on the loose in war torn L.A, hiding in the ruins of the city. Deckard has no choice but to hunt them down, alone.
The best sci-fi ever made before CGI. Also rated in the top 100 greatest movies ever made. It's easy to see why.

A truly brilliant piece of film noir that should be seen by anyone whos a fan of scifi movies. This movie was ahead of it's time with the special effects they used in this and the story telling was phenomenal and it being scary that man can create something so evil.. even the music set the stage for this spacey and psychedelic like a pink floyd album. All thanks to Ridley Scott who was also the man behind Alien. You get two great performances in this one with Harrison Ford -protagonist- playing a detective and the other Rutger Hauer -antagonist- playing a cold maniacal android. Ultimately this story will leave you dazzled and on the edge of your seat so if you have a couple of hours to slay sit back and watch 5/5

Rick Deckard (Ford) is a retired police officer, once responsible for finding and killing renegade "replicants" - man-made servants and soldiers almost indistinguishable from humans. A highly sophisticated and murderous gang lead by the enigmatic Roy Batty (Hauer) is on the loose and Deckard is persuaded to take the case.

The first and possibly best Philip K. Dick adaptation, Blade Runner is an arresting triumph of design, atmosphere and storytelling. Ridley Scott's self-assured approach lends a convincing air to the year 2019, making the city's neon-lit streets seem as real as those walked by Deckard's spiritual grandfather, Philip Marlowe. In fact, the influence of Raymond Chandler and his famous P.I. is evident throughout Dick's novel and particularly the film. Deckard is a similarly hard-bitten and morally ambiguous character, making a living amongst the sleaziest dregs of society. There is even a scene in which Deckard plays a gawky fool to gain the trust of an incidental character, his mannerisms and voice identical to an impression performed by Bogart's Marlowe in The Big Sleep. From character to narrative, to the shadowy visual style, Blade Runner is riddled with film noir references.

Fortunately, powerful performances all round prevent the stylized aesthetic from swamping the story. Ford is great, but it's Rutger Hauer who is the real revelation here. A stalwart of sci-fi and horror B-movies, Batty is the most high-profile and successful role to date for the Dutch actor, who makes him a threatening and electrifying presence.

Available in two versions, the superior is the 1991 director's cut which removes a dreadful commentary - insisted upon by the distributor - begrudgingly and lazily recorded by Ford.

Through out the film it became quite apparent that they left out some key points that were made in the book. Losing a main point or two can leave a viewer feel very incomplete. Sure you were still able to follow along, but with Ford in the picture you really should shoot for the stars. Which i'm sorry to say in this film they didn't accomplish.
