"Do androids dream of electric sheep?" Philip L. Dick wondered in the original story. Like sleep researchers today, the film obsesses more with memory, and eyes. The blade runner becomes so reduced to his function, destruction, that there is little difference between him and the skinjobs he hunts, androids. The only problem is Harrison Ford's boyish charm exudes too much humanity in the role.
It matters a lot what version you see, for the ending and noirish voice-over. I will say that if I had to go violently, between Daryl Hannah's theighs would be my choice every time. For a really interesting P.I. film more interested in the dream aspect of how we are androids already, see Wim Wender's Until the End of the World.
