High Score

About This Movie

So, 'High Score' is this quirky mix of action and psychological drama from 1990. It's about a guy who's way too deep into video games, and you can feel that unsettling blurring of lines between his digital adventures and actual life. The tone is heavy, almost surreal at times. The pacing? It builds tension nicely, especially when the cop comes into play, also obsessed but with his tech gadgets. You can't help but be intrigued by the way both characters are after the same woman, all while caught in their own worlds. The practical effects, though not groundbreaking, add a certain gritty charm. Performances are decent, embodying that late '80s/early '90s vibe. Not your run-of-the-mill chase flick, that's for sure.
