good yet some bad performances

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 1999)

although i found this movie very interesting and visually stunning the performance of Kiefer Sutherland really muddled this picture for me. i found his Dr. Schreber totally affected and nearly unwatchable. also, Jennifer Connelly was incredibly flat and almost non-existent in this film. i would have liked to have seen more of William Hurt's character and the insane detective. so, while the ideas and imagery of this picture were fascinating, some of the characterizations were annoying or flat.
