 Written and directed by David Cronenberg, eXistenZ is one of those films.  It’s got a great science fiction concept, a quality cast (Jude Law, Willem DaFoe, Ian Holm) and enough mystery to hold your interest.  I generally enjoy it and even find it strangely fascinating.  Yet, it’s unsatisfying.  And the more I think about it, the less satisfying it gets.  The reason for this, sadly, is that Cronenberg has created a mess and he tries to cheat his way out of it.
