Where's his Oscar?

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 1999)

This has got to be my favourite movie. The music, the visual imagery, but, above all, the acting. There are some obvious let-downs (Rider's and Reeves' 'English' accents make me cringe every time), but the actor at the centre of it all makes up for it -- GARY OLDMAN! This movie is just a showcase for his talents as an actor... and what an actor he is too! If you see this movie, there is no possible way you can deny his acting ability (particularly in regards to accents). Those who fail to mention his performance only make me wonder -- did you watch the movie at all?
