Werid little film, and I don't know what all the fuss is about.

Rating: 4/10 (8 February 2000)

I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about. I found the film very bitty, with no sense of direction, at any point. The film attracted me to it because of Kevin Spacey, his acting in `Usual suspects' was amazing, and yes he did another good job as a storyteller, but nothing stunning. The actor I thought was amazing in this film was young Wes Bentley, who played his part to perfection. If I had to describe the film to someone I would have a lot of difficulty. Was it funny, well in some parts it was hilarious. Was it exciting, well virtually all of the time no. Was it serious, well in some parts yes. Was it erotic, well on the odd occasion, yes. Was it daft, well that is one word that could sum it up. You see because it was so bitty, each scene had its own felling mood, which could be completely different from another. However the film did not have one theme that went through it entirely, except maybe daft'. The script is what I think let it down. It was well directed, the actors did well, but the film had no real direction, and so no real end came about. Without giving anything away all I can say is that the film did end, but virtually half the story line was left unfinished. Would I recommend this film to a friend? I would have to say yes. This was not a film that bored you, and I would say that with all its hype and ratings most people must like it. However it was not mine kind of film.
