Better than I expected

Rating: Null/10 (23 January 2001)

I'm pretty cynical about movies made in Hollywood these days. Most are mediocre in my opinion. When I read the reviews for this film, I thought "Oh, more Hollywood hype." However, I have to say this film kept me entertained and interested from beginning to end -- never a slow moment. There were plenty of plot twists, and the characters were quirky enough for me to like them. This is one of the few films I saw last year that I actually thought about afterward.
Bottom line: If you like big Hollywood blockbusters with lots of ridiculous coincidences and predictable characters and endings, pass this one up. If you're looking for something a little unusual, I highly recommend it.
