Hard to believe people didn't like this film

Rating: Null/10 (25 September 2002)

As I read all the comments posted, I find it hard to imagine that people did not like this film. If nothing else, it makes you think. Too many movies are being released today that just use explosions and nudity to entice an audience. It is rare to find a movie that poses such deep philosophical questions, and, at the same time, does it in a well-written, well-acted manner. The casting is fantastic, and all the actors (particularly Jake Gyllenhaal) do wonderful jobs at getting this sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and always dark story across. The cinematography is very unique and absorbing and the music fits perfectly. The movie is visually interesting, but more importantly leaves you with much to think about and figure out. Definitely a must see if you enjoy movies that engage your brain. "Two Thumbs Up"
