A John Carpenter wannabe

Allegra Geller has just created a new game called eXistenZ. At its début, someone tries to take her to her death in the name of reality. Her bodyguard, Ted Pikul, in an attempt to save Allegra’s life, takes her on the run through reality and alternate realities. Does the daring duo escape and foil the bad instigator, or will they be lost forever “neath the streets of Boston?” If you are a fan of gore, slime, and tasty treats, you may have an interest in this film. They attempt to create a "world within worlds" effect. However, it has been done before and much better. You may want to watch “The Thirteenth Floor” (the same year, 1999) or read “Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy” by Jostein Gaarder. Jude Law is always great in whatever character he plays. Somehow, he has the possibility to have you believe he is the character and not just an extraordinary actor. Jennifer Jason Leigh is a cutie, but her character is a little farfetched; she still cranked out quite a few films after this one. If you still have not gotten enough and are game, then here is a German TV version of “The Thirteenth Floor” called “World on a Wire” (1973), Criterion.
