Pepto-Bismol

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2001)

This movie is just plain stupid. It is a blaring example of what happens when you try to be an artsy film instead of just plain good. Symbolism, minimalism, contrast, blah-blah-blah. This movie could have been set in the backdrop of the 1930's and been bad, 1990's and been bad, and yes, even Ancient Greece and still been an atrocious waste of time.
Christian Bale gave a very effective imitation of Tom Cruise, but "spectacular" and all the other strictly wrong adjectives do not apply.
If you liked showgirls, you'll like this movie, but it stinks in a whole new way.
And the ending? Sphincter says what?
