What critics compared Ghost in the Machine to
In themes and even some imagery, this material may remind a few viewers not only of Inception, but of the should-have-been-forgotten Lawnmower Man movies and the Ghost in the Machine anime and animated features.
Nevertheless far smarter and more sophisticated than the sort of Lawnmower Man/Ghost in the Machine mashup the film’s marketing suggests, Pfister’s directorial debut is all polish and respectability without any of his mentor’s effortless crowd-pleasing.
His latest is "Paprika," a handsomely animated science-fiction thriller, which may bring to mind the 1995 cyberpunk anime film "Ghost in the Machine."
