A great idea in need of an editor

Rating: 3/10 (3 June 2000)

Truly a wonderful idea - but when the audience starts looking at their watches, it's time to call for the editor. I'm as angry at it as I was at Bill Clinton: very bright, but he blew it. It could have been a great film. Perhaps the director will do a reverse Speilberg for us: do a director's cut that is actually tighter and more disciplined - one that brings all those wonderful ideas together in a more economical fashion. Strunk and White: where were you when we needed you?
