Kevin Spacey's career performance.

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2000)

I can't remember the last time Hollywood was responsible for a movie this good.
This is also Kevin Spacey's best work (and if you've seen his work, you know that's saying something). He doesn't usually play very likeable characters, and Lester is perhaps, in his own way, the most angry and antagonistic of all of them. Yet he manages to make him sympathetic, almost a hero even.
The rest of the cast is excellent all around, but to me the show belongs to Spacey. This will be remembered as one of the important films in his career.
