One of the worst movies ever in the history of cinema

Rating: 1/10 (7 February 2005)

!!!WATCH OUT, THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS!!!
I won't waste my time to sum up the story. The script is slow and stupid, giving birth to one of the most boring film I have ever seen in my life. I am not surprised that Kubrick died before finishing it because it's so bad that he spent 9 years of his life working on it, and he died before putting a final hand to it. The script is incredibly idiot. For example, Tom Cruise's character is supposed to be a great Doctor and, when he goes to see a prostitute he doesn't even use a condom! So he gets HIV positive.
The image has a very good quality and this aspect of this Z-rated-late-night-TV-Show kind of film, is probably the best. The colors are really worked. But the action and the dialogs are so flat that even if there are good actors, they don't have any occasion to prove it here.
The good thing is I didn't go to the theater to see this movie. A friend of mine lent it to me, on tape. I almost fell asleep in front of it. This is such a bad movie that I'm sorry that it was Kubrick's last one. He could do much better. It's a bad souvenir left by a great director getting too old. Do yourself a favor: Don't waste your time and money and don't see this movie--cold, slow and empty as it is.
