Not Based on the Short Story

Supposedly based on the Philip K. Dick short story, Sales Pitch, this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the story. Indeed, it is so far removed from it, I suspect the writer had some heist movie all written up and, with a few tweaks, passed it off as an adaptation.

Steve Buscemi plays a down-at-heel worker at a factory that makes artificial people. He is drawn into a conspiracy to steal from his employer, and things get twisty and violent.

Moderately distracting as a sort of sci-fi noir, but most people will have something better to do with their time than watch this.

Hey, here's an idea - read the Philip K. Dick story - it is actually quite good.
