Tom Cruise SUCKS!

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 1999)

And so does most of this movie. A major disappointment from one of the most innovative minds in film. Some of it is gorgeous and eerie, with the master's touch, but most of it preposterous, ridiculous, bizarre, stilted, cheesy, slow as molasses, over the top, obvious and just plain awful i.e: The orgy sequence. And I'm a big Kubrick fan! Is it only me, or is nobody else tired of the premise of whining male anglo-saxons that f**k outside of marriage and lo and behold, it turns out to be such a nightmare for them? Oooh, such bad things happen to them, they feel so guilty... Remember Fatal Attraction? The topic is getting tired. If you are going to cheat, enjoy it or don't do it but stop whining. I still love him but perhaps he should have ventured out in the world a little bit, the movie would not have been so out of touch with the times. It felt like a bad Seventies trip. Bummer.
