An ambitious film which ultimately fails...

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2000)

The controversy which surrounded star/director squabbles makes me wonder what could have been with this movie. While the acting is superb all round, and one begins to understand Norton's billing as the greatest actor of his generation, the simplicity in the plot is dismaying.I found it hard to accept that Norton's character could so swiftly leave behind his violent past and 'see the light' whilst imprisoned.
