Overrated but worth the rental and a night in fron of the TV

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2001)

Frankly, the academy should have not ruined the greatest year of film making by calling this movie the best one. There is a lot intregue in this movie but it full of errors and has no sense. Kevin Spacey is the only reason this film got any attention and I found his performances were better in The Usual Suspects and The Nagotaitor. The worst thing about this film is it demonstrates that irresponability in a adults is a good thing. If that is true our world is about to fall a part. This movie almost glamorizes drugs. Enough of the Negitive! The movie is slow but brings out life in middle age people and that is why it is so popular with the Acedemy. The charactors are powerful and it shows us that money doesn't give us life it takes it away. This movie doesn't campare to Episode I, South Park,The Matrix, Dogma, or The Sixth Sense for 1999 movies but is entertaining at least.
