Slow-paced, semi-erotic, bore

Rating: 6/10 (23 August 1999)

I know a lot of people have gone to see this movie for the obvious reasons of nudity. I myself am part of this demographic I suppose, so I thought that this movie might hold my interest somewhat. Tom Cruise plays a lawyer who is married to a simple homemake (Kidman). Cruise's character is, in my view, plagued by the need of a more sexually exciting life. He is a curious type that seems to want to experience everything at least once. A good idea. However, the way this is portrayed is slow, boring, and simply uninteresting even with the nudity. I mean no disrespect to the late Stanley K., but this movie is a disappointment after Clockwork Orange.
