High-brow thriller, not for the masses, but great Kubrick!

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 1999)

For dedicated movie lovers, this is top notch stuff. It's 2 hr 40 min length was noticeable but no one got up for popcorn. Even the medical aspects were reasonably accurate. It was interesting to watch the audience drawn in first by the tasteful nudity and humor, then later in rapt attention as the psychosexual aspects became darker and more frightening. While the secret orgies of the rich are titillating and scary, the Cruise-Kidman dynamics and acting are magnificent. Much too dark and complex for most, but a thriller for those inclined to thought and detail.
