Strange Days

The film is profoundly **Disturbing** through its depiction of violence, particularly the 'squid' recordings of sadistic acts, and the grim realities of its near-future world. **Empathy** is generated for the victims of the crimes, as well as for Lenny's personal struggles and Mace's unwavering loyalty and moral compass amidst the chaos.

The constant threat and violent confrontations also contribute significantly to a feeling of **Fear**.
