A Flat-Out Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2001)

If you haven't seen "American Beauty" yet, what on Earth are you waiting for? It is a masterpiece, any way you slice it. Kevin Spacey proves definitively that there is no better actor in Hollywood today. His performance is life-changing, as is the movie. In short, watch this movie with an open mind and remember that things aren't always what they seem, and if for some reason the first time around troubles you, watch it again, and 'look closer'.
