    it's funny we're still supposed to think deckard is a cool suave noir detective after he spends all film sticking his tongue out when he gets scared. i think all cyberpunk is tropey and cringe but at least BR1982 plays around a little with it (Make Cyberpunk Weird Again). i love the soundtrack and set design but i do wish they remembered to do something with the plot direction. you couldn't convince me of the romance if you held a gun to my head free my girl rachael she deserves to be put in a better movie
