Breathtaking

Rating: 7/10 (25 August 1999)

Having seen this movie on a small TV, it seems it does the film more justice to say that even in the situation, I was thoroughly blown away. The flying billboards which, you know, if they could, they'd plaster them across the skyline, the constant presecense of rain, all of these set a mood and create an atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a knife. Beyond the special effects...there's not as much as you'd like. Harrison Ford is good as a character you can't feel much for, but he nonetheless does a good job. There's not point in wasting words on giving the plot, there's far too little space to effectively give it away. Points of interest in the movie are the finale (which is like a vivid nightmare), where Rutger Hower truly shines. All and all, an off and on movie which nonetheless keeps you enthralled.
