It was in many ways similar to the themes seen in Douglas Trumbull's Brainstorm (1983), starring Christopher Walken. But Bigelow is amazing, I can't wait for her to return to sci-fi or horror, I loved Near Dark (1987) as well.<br /><br />During Point Break she was married to James Cameron, which is why Cameron serves as producer for this one. From what I hear, Cameron also wrote part of the ending, but wasn't credited for it.

Every movie she does is awesome. Can't wait for something new from her.

Point Break, Near Dark, The Hurt Locker - I think Kathryn Bigelow deserves to be recognised as one of the finest action directors of all time, no qualifier needed.Paul Shttp://pfeifferpfilmsandmegmovies.org/2014/02/18/love-amongst-the-sleep-deprived/noreply@blogger.com
