It Was Not Predictable But Was Certainly A Disappointment!

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 1999)

Eyes Wide Shut is a mixed bag of good and bad. The one thing it has going for it is that you will not be able to predict the ending. Speaking of the ending, it left me wanting more. This is an often unbelievable story of a man's journey into to a sexual adventure that becomes his worst nightmare. Cruise, was not at his best, as a young doctor with a lovely wife and daughter. His practice is successful and he and his wife get invited to a party in which they go their separate ways. Kindman does a great job as the doctor's wife who is also having sexual thoughts of her own. I must say it kept my interest though you will have to wait a while for things to develop and go somewhere. The bottom line is that this is a toss up. Some will like it and others will get up and walk out of the theatre before the ending of the film. Though not a sexual turn on to me, others might feel that it goes a bit too far. They would be wrong, in my opinion.
