Critics go home

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 1998)

I too am annoyed by all the critcis. They do not know a good movie when they see one. I went into this movie with no prior knowledge about the little rift between the director, the lead or the production company. And I really do not care too much about what the problem was. This movie was brilliant, beautifully directed, and casted. Ed Norton soared as the lead, his contrasting attitudes were played well (and he looked incredible). Ed Furlong was excellent as a teen with some issues. He was mature and realistic. Avery was great as the saivor. The rest of the characters were just as good. The plot was excellent, and the ending was so powerful that I actually shed tears. (This from the girl who did not cry during Titanic). I've recommended this movie to many, and when they come back they call me to say thanks for such a great movie. People should see this movie, and the bitter fight going on behind the scenes should stay there. The highlight of this movie is the direction, , which leaves me wondering why it was such a big deal. Bottom Line: See it, it has all the elements of a great film. Ed Norton and the director should be nominated for something!!!
