Well made, excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2003)

1999 would be known for the year of great movies. "American Beauty" really puts the "d" in dysfunction. This movie dealt with a lot of egotism in everyone's lives. Kevin Spacey really played his role well enough to get an Oscar. Being an unhappy yutz is one thing, but living the life he now would be murder(hence the fact). Spacey will make magic in just about any movie he makes. "The Negotiator" was suspenseful when learns the truth about his superiors. In the movie here, learns how to regain his "lost youth" at a time of crisis. Thora Birch was really awesome playing a daughter who downright insecure, and is spooked by the next door neighbor with a camera watching her every move. The most intriguing part of the movie is when she really came out of her "shell" to the neighbor. BOLD MOVE, but I'm not going too far with that detail, NO WAY! I've enjoyed every inch of that movie, and it's a perfect 10 in my book!
