Hideous

Rating: 1/10 (31 March 2000)

I mean no disrespect to the late Stanley Kubrick, but this film is a complete waste of time and money. The acting wasn't bad, and there are a lot of talented people in this film. The storyline was too strange to even fathom, and Class A actors (Cruise, Kidman, Pollack) gave good performances that couldn't save this ugly mess. Upon leaving this movie in the theater, my date said, "Not as bad as I thought it would be." That is the highest compliment he could pay this movie.
They say truth is stranger than fiction, but this is just ridiculously worthless.
In my humble opinion, the only portion of this film that had any merit was seeing Cruise and Kidman in scenes together. I got the impression these two are really good together both on-screen and off.
In a nutshell: Don't bother (unless you're an insomniac).
