A brilliantly made and performed third rate move

Rating: 5/10 (14 January 2000)

A deceptive film. Performances are outstanding, editing is top drawer, direction is inspired, etc. However, the result of all that excellence struck me a third rate movie. The characters are all cliches and the "moral" of the tale pretentious. I am weary of harsh salespeople, mis-understood advertising pluggers, troubled but insightful teen-agers, repressed military men and wholesome gays. The neighborhood of this story is strictly Hollywood. The political correctness of the tale I also found to be gutless. Oh well, its only a movie. . .
