A remarkable deconstruction of the American Dream

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2000)

This movie was a masterpiece, one day to be a true classic. I'm glad someone had the moxie to show that the American Dream can end up a little wilted around the edges now that we have no literal or metaphorical Manifest Destiny to use as an diversion. Kevin Spacey give a standout performance in an already brilliant career and Mena Suvari gives an aire of heart and depth to what at first seems to be just a little cocktease. The first step in finding true happiness is shattering the illusions and prisons we've created, this movie is a step in the right direction.
