"Look closer". What at? There's nothing there!

Rating: 4/10 (22 February 2000)

What are you all on? You all seem to have lost your critical faculties. Please wake up and get a grip! So many of you are gushing on about the beauty of a plastic bag blowing in the wind. And how much money did you part with to see this? Ever heard of "outside"? It's cheaper.
This film is directly appealing both to the intellectual snobbery and lack of confidence in all of us. "If I don't like it there must be something wrong with me. Only clever people can share the insights that this film has to give, all the reviews agree." If you don't like the film say so, don't be pressured by the numbers.
This film isn't poetry, it just thinks it is. It's also sloppy. Remember the opening sequence? "Would you like me to kill your dad?" "Gee, would you?" etc. This has no importance at all to the unfolding of plot, story, character development, etc. It's there for effect. Nothing else. That or they were going to remove it and forgot.
These are not real people, these are not real relationships, they do not have real problems and they do not have real jobs. OK?
And there are just too many close ups of Kevin Spacey.
