If you are looking to kill 3 hours, it's a good movie.

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 1999)

Characters are flat and under developed. Nicole Kidman adds some life to the opening sequence of the film. There is a lot of time wasted on long shots of Cruise staring vacantly. The characters are bizarrely sterotypical. Subtle plot lines that could have been exploited to make the film more interesting are dismissed out of hand. The redeeming quality of this film is Kubrick's use of the medium. It is exquistely filmed, lush sets and excellent use of music to set the mood. The best scene by far is when Cruise's character enters the mansion and watches an eerily evil ceremony taking place before the now infamous orgy scene.
