Eyes Wide Shut is lame and sometimes even silly.

Rating: 2/10 (7 October 1999)

I'm sorry to say that one of my favorite directors last work, doesn't by any mean meet the standard I'm used to see from him. Eyes Wide Shut is lame and sometimes even silly. I've tried afterwards to figure out if I missed something, because so many critics thinks this is a really good movie, but I can only assume that they are blinded by Kubricks name and the "daring" performance of the starring actors. Nothing in this movie is thrilling and nothing, except from two scenes, are even interesting. The plot is nonsense - you ask yourself, "Why does anybody care? What is so 'scary' and 'secret'? Why do these 'strange' men pop up to pass Tom Cruise some notes?". And so on... My only answer is that Kubrick wanted to do an erotically charged thriller, but didn't put enough work on the script, and therefor it failed to be either.
