I wanted to like it but...

Rating: 6/10 (21 October 2002)

Contains SPOILERS

I wanted to like this film, I though Crowe gave a good performance, but I just thought the whole 'is it real or is it all in his mind' thing was a bit patronising and very manipulative, especially because it was based on a true story. I suppose it could have been worse, but it just left a bad taste, also, it's all been done before in Fight Club (and Vanilla Sky, Mulholland Drive, etc etc)
