What A Piece of Garbage!

Rating: 1/10 (6 October 2000)

I know I am in the minority on this one, but, boy, what a rotten film! Pretentious doesn't begin to describe it. I am supposed to be moved by some guy filming a plastic bag being blown around? I guess anything passes for art now.
Not only were most of the characters totally unlikeable, they were such heavy-handed sterotypes. There was no growth, no depth. Kevin Spacey is a jerk in the beginning and is a jerk in the end. The wife is the Martha Stewart type. The marine is the no nonsense tough guy with a secret (You could see that one coming a mile away) and the marine's wife is in a stupor cause she's being bullied by her husband. These people were cartoon characters.
It was beautifully filmed and well acted, but that doesn't make it a good film. I had such high expectations for this film going in, and I was really annoyed at how bad it was.
