Kathryn Bigelow Perfected the Techno Thriller With This Underseen Gem Finally Available on Streaming

After surfer-heist film Point Break rode a wave of success critically and at the box office, director Kathryn Bigelow cashed in a massive blank check to make a gritty, politically driven, thrilling science-fiction movie that very few people have seen. Strange Days was released in 1995, co-written by James Cameron and Jay Cocks (A Complete Unknown, The Age of Innocence), from a concept by Cameron, and quickly fell out of the public consciousness. The film was a critical success, but a major failure at the box office, and in recent years, has become exceedingly difficult to find.
