Imaginative, but falls slightly flat.

Rating: 6/10 (20 June 2000)

Imaginative and creative, but takes on so much it only skims the surface of the issues raised. Leaving it a bit flat in the end. People desperate to spend 15 minutes in the consciousness of someone famous rather than endure their own assumingly bland existence, speaks volumes about lack of self knowledge and development. Just as desperate to escape a natural part of life: death and the mystery that it holds. Out of fear these people seem to be denying themselves the ultimate portal trip. The movie is more thought provoking than funny and I give it 7/10 for that. It pulls off some original scenes as well. I can't remember ever seeing anything like the run through Malkovich's subconscious. Well done.
