Empty filmmaking

Rating: 1/10 (13 May 2001)

To all the people who say this is the best film of all time...see some more films, you might change your mind. Besides Conrad Hall's great camerawork and an OK performance by Kevin Spacey this film really has nothing going for it. The one thing that bothered me the most was the contempt that the film seems to have towards every one of the female characters. They're portrayed as pathetic, shallow and shrill. And even though it wants to, it says nothing about America. At all. It IS watchable, but because it has higher aspirations and fails miserably at attaining them, it is ultimately worthless.
