The big question in “Blade Runner 2049” continues to be the one posed by Ridley Scott’s 1982 sci-fi masterpiece. The hero of this tale, an LAPD cop and blade runner named K (as in Kafka’s “The Castle”?) Robin Wright as Lt. Joshi and Sylvia Hoeks as Luv Photo: Warner Bros.Harrison Ford, for his part, is nothing less than a revelation. Here, as the blade runner Deckard in the home stretch of a turbulent life, he is astonishing in his ferocity and poignant in his passion, an old man still possessed by a vision of lost love. And Mr. Ford can be charming once again, a man with a faithful dog that may or may not be a canine replicant.
