Not Worth a 9.3

Rating: 1/10 (10 October 1999)

This is an expertly filmed, acted, and directed film, but the script is lacking. Why? Because the movie is a complex tale about a group of people living in suburbia. A simple setting is ideal for showing the deep underlyings of society, but we should care about the characters. All the characters in this movie are freaks. They're violent or mean, and you really don't care for any of them. You don't feel sympathy, and half the time you're afraid one of them is going to just flip out and kill everyone. The movie is too graphic for it's own good. The violence and non-stop sex related material are enough to get the point across without the excessive drug use as well. This movie has tremendous performances and the best filming you are likely to ever see, but don't expect a nice movie to see a Sunday afternoon. Instead, plan to see a disturbing and brutal look into the lives of a bunch of basically horrible people.
