I've seen the film several times and am still not sure,but like to think Deckart is a replicant.

I think it's because of Phillip K Dick's ambiguity,also present in 'Total Recall' ; how much of Quaid's experience is real and which bits?

Theatrical release/ Director's cut/ Final cut.

With the wife at work and the kid spending the night with his grandparents, I decided to sit through all six hours.

I would give anything for a film to put me to sleep. It would be far cheaper than everything else I use.

So what do you think is Ridley Scott's WORST film?

For me, it's G.I. Jane. In terms of sheer disappointment, it's Prometheus.
