Surprise, surprise!

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2002)

The first Kubrick movie I saw was 2001 and it made me think of him as a director obsessing so much about what he thought was innovative filmmaking that he would readily forget about all sense of dramatic timing, humor and decent storytelling. I thought I'd never bother watching any of his other movies, well.. until I ran into this one. If you're into movies like Brazil or Mars Attacks, you will recognize quite a few of the patterns and techniques employed there, only that this one here is decades older. A must see for those who appreciate intelligent entertainment!
