The mind of the mindless...

Rating: 4/10 (9 December 2000)

This movie had potential, except the main character is a total waste of time. Malcolm McDowell in "A Clockwork Orange" was only about one thousand times more interesting. Perhaps if he was obsessed with Beethoven, instead of Phil Collins and Huey Lewis...? (This next sentence may or may not be a spoiler.) And, let's face facts here, the main character is a very, very stupid, boring, and pathetic man, who just happens to have violent fantasies and sleep around. Most of the violence in the movie was off-camera, so I can't say it was really too graphic. This is a really hard movie to pin down, because you know it is a satire, but there's no humor. Compared to movies like "A Clockwork Orange" and "Fight Club," this movie fails miserably.
