** - Nicholas Cage’s rapidly thinning hair and Jessica Biel’s rapidly tightening blouse star in this abomination of a classic Phillip K. Dick story. While some of the basic elements of Dick’s original plot remain, I felt myself relieved that he is long dead, so he wouldn’t have to see what was done with his work here. Mr. Dick’s certainly drug-influenced plot is turned into a silly love story with only a passing resemblance to the original. There are some bright spots, but this could have been so much more. It’s a shame.
