Large-scale boredom.

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 1999)

The production is big. The cast is huge. But the boredom I felt while I was watching this film (for the second time)is mammoth. So what if the cast is full of big stars? They all walk through their roles indifferently, with the exception of Gene Hackman, who gives the only memorable performance. This uninvolving film has another redeeming feature: the bitter, pessimistic ending. But most of the time, it's a bore.
