Has some good scenes, but this is a BAAAD movie!

Rating: 4/10 (24 April 2002)

The title above says, that this movie has some good scenes, and that is true. Scene"s" in this case means two scenes. One of the is stolen from "A clockwork orange", the other one is a tarantinoesque idea.
The actors are not bad, though, and Andrzej Sekula is a great cinematographer, but for those, who haven't read the original (and otherwise also bad) novel, this is just a cartoon. At least Ellis' (bad) novel had some thought to say. In a wrong way as a matter of fact, but this movie transforms the original material into an empty-minded, "Alfred Hitchcock presents"-type satire and not into a satirical, but vile experience in darkness, as it should be. If you want to know, how disturbing the novel is, watch the hungarian movie "Nexxt" instead. It's not an adaptation, but it's a lot closer to the original material and it's also not a great movie, but it is better and a lot more artistic.
