Quite Impressive Debut Film

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2002)

Hats off to Richard Kelly, the recent USC Film School graduate! His film is a major sleeper, stocked full of clever ideas and fine performances. All done for under $4.5 million. I'm not sure, but I don't think it ever was released to theaters. (Was this because of the 911 tragedy and the film's fundamental airplane tragedy theme?) I wish it had wider circulation. And don't miss Richard and Jake's commentary on the DVD--it's as entertaining as the film!
