The best American movie of the last five years.

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 1999)

Saw it last night. I can't get it out of my mind. Kevin Spacey is absolutely incredible. He will surely be nominated for an Oscar this year, and I can't see anyone else winning. I see 250 films a year and I can't remember reacting this way to a movie since SLINGBLADE or LEAVING LAS VEGAS. It's strangely uplifting and desperate at the same time. Go see this the moment it gets to your town. You won't be disappointed.
