One of the best movies ever.

Rating: Null/10 (21 October 1999)

The year in film is anything but over, but I think it's safe to say that we've already seen the best one. I'm not really going out on a limb by saying this, as most of the film community would undoubtedly agree with me, but the movie is a landmark. It is, hands down, the best American movie since The Shawshank Redemption. The story is a simple one, but at the same time, so complex that the movie warrants a second, and even a third viewing.
I'm not going to give any part of the plot away, believe me, it's better to go in blind. Perhaps the most amazing thing about this movie is that it's Sam Mendez's first. He directs every scene with a skill that few veteran directors have. And the visuals are both beautiful, and simplistic at the same time.
Many people would say the Tom Hanks is the actor of the decade, but I think that this movie clinches that title for Spacey. This role has more depth than Verbal Kint, and unbelievably, more suprise. Everyone else is amazing as well, but Spacey is the glue.
I can't say enough good things about this movie. You have to see it for yourself to believe it. So stop sitting there and go to the theater. You won't be dissappointed.
