Relentlessly strange thriller that is reminiscent of The Matrix but featuring David Cronenberg's penchant for queasy body horror. The plot is frustrating because it doesn't start to make sense until you're halfway through it and then it shifts gears in unexpected ways. Jennifer Jason Leigh is good in the lead as the game designer trying to stay ahead of corporate assassins while trying to survive her own VR game. Jude Law is equally good as her bewildered sidekick who changes his role in the story on a dime. Almost like a video game. It's irritating but it's not boring.
