very poor-- don't be fooled

Rating: 1/10 (4 December 2002)

I can't say strongly enough how poor this movie really is. It is an abominably self-worshipping egotrip of the film maker, and a sel-indulgent sycophancy of those worshipping in as the "end-all, be-all" of modern filmmaking.
At approximately a half-hour into this "film" (and I use that term extremely loosely), I was overwhelmed by an overpowering urge for a full frontal lobotomy... or at the very least to put out my eyes (and ears) with needles ala Oedipus to put an end to this unbearable torture session. Told in a typically hectic manner that attempts to aspire to "nouveau-filmaking" ( godhelpusall, "Tarantino-esque"), after a while you stop caring anything about the film whatsoever... Anyone and everyone no longer gives a d**n whether the movie makes any sense any longer (-- it doesn't!--) or not,
After wasting hard-earned $$ on this film, someone will have to hold a gun to my head before I will even consider watching this "thing" again.
Some people have said this movie will change your life. This is true. After seeing Donnie Darko, any movie you formerly considered "awful", can safely be labeled "average".
Filled with cliche. Tawdry. If you demand mental stimulation, stay away from this movie at all costs.
