Big disappointment...

Rating: 2/10 (17 September 1999)

Unfortunately I hugely anticipated this film...supreme director and great actors I really thought I was in for a treat. However I was hugely disappointed. The film was slow, so slow that I kept checking my watch along with half of the cinema...the surreal scenes involving Cruise and a bunch of caped, masked perves was eerie and unsettling. I felt that the only thing missing were animals. The only redeemable feature about this movie was Kidman who is again proving herself to be a class A actress. I really wanted to enjoy this film but unfortunately the odds were against me. If you're lookin for the best of Kubrick go for The Shining.
