A good film to watch happen, but not to watch

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 1999)

Remember that time you got a little drunk at that party, everything slowed down just enough for you to see what was happening but not to know what for? That is the basic gist of Eyes Wide Shut. Tom Cruise, as are we, is nothing more than an observer in this film that keeps you on the edge just long enough to...keep you on the edge. An amazingly tense film that leaves you waiting for the sequel that will never come. Like the Matthew Broderick sex scene in Biloxi Blues, you spend 95% of the time starting to climax and 5% of the time cleaning up what you were sure was supposed to be there but wasn't. So, I guess Eyes Wide Shut is one of the best films I've seen, too bad it sucked. Bonus!! The Hungarian has got to be the coolest guy in the world! I tried to memorize every line he said!
