ScriptShadow published a positive review of Jon Spaihts' Shadow 19 screenplay.
"Shadow 19 is a gunmetal paean to id Software and cyberpunk," writes reviewer Roger Balfour. "A hymn to boys (and girls, are you out there?) who spent many a night playing Doom, or any videogame, really, and you were so engrossed in the virtual world the next time you looked out the window it was already dawn.

And it is a felony against all people who care about story to not know the difference.
