ruined at the end

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2000)

This movie was truly captivating for the first 7/8's or so. The theme, acting, plot...they all came together. The various sub-plots added to the enjoyment. They threw in little twists and turns that enriched the plot greatly. It was like a wide-receiver making a spectacular catch and heading for the end-zone. He evades all of the defensive backs...he is free and clear...and then he trips. The ending was awful. It was complete milktoast. I can't believe they would work so hard to make such a near-masterpiece and then screw it all up in the last twenty minutes or so.
