Excellent film--if not great

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2000)

I thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic tale that is altogether believable. The acting and writing are enough that the premise behind the movie's title almost plays second fiddle; being John Malkovich is only the beginning for these sorry characters.
This film reminds me of many of the post-modern short stories published in the 2nd half of the 20th Century--something extraordinary happens, and while the characters find it amazing, they are never found in disbelief.
The three main actors (Cusak, Diaz, and Keener) are great, and actually overshadow "Malko".
I'd rather let the details speak for themselves, so don't hesitate to check this movie out.
