Chillingly chic and defiantly dumb

Rating: 2/10 (6 July 2000)

Spacey, as usual, is brilliant. But when he is off the screen, this degenerates into stupidly violent farce. This movie is more representative of Hollywood's religious adherence to atheistic cynicism than any I have ever seen. Bening's character is way too inconsistent. Most of the younger characters are over-selfish hedonists. All in all, even the incomparable Spacey couldn't save this movie from its fixation on easy potshots. This is the #3 movie of all time? Try the number 3000.
