"Eyes Wide Shut"* *1/2

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2002)

Stanley Kubrick was a director of many visions and was man with many visions.That became apparently well seen in his films "2001:A Space Odyssey" and "A Clockwork Orange".A never thought of Kubrick as a bad director for he was a genius.Not because he made some great films.But because his films were interesting to view even if I didn't like them."Paths of Glory" was my favorite" while "A Clockwork Orange" was my least."2001:A Space Odyssey" had me scratching my head.Now comes "Eyes Wide Shut".This was Stanley Kubrick's last film and a pretty interesting but uninvolving film which at times I liked and other times I disliked.Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are both really good as two couples who get involved in a situation that drives them into a world of sexual odysseys.I found myself being reminded of earlier films by Stanley Kubrick.Films like "The Shining" and "A Clockwork Orange" and even though this film got plenty of hype back in 1999,I wonder what was all the hype about?I don't think "Eyes Wide Shut" was a great film and it wasn't the worst."Eyes Wide Shut" to me is just a film to me and there was nothing special about it.
