Good, but what's the big deal?

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 1999)

This is a good film... The storyline is interesting, and the plot, even though it takes an hour to get going is there. Yes, there's a lot of sex, but with the exception of one scene, it is no sexier than Basic Instinct or 9 1/2 Weeks... I don't understand the secrecy that has followed this film for the past two years... There is nothing about it that is that shocking... It's just a good, solid film with good performances by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman... If you go in expecting the most shocking film ever, you will be disappointed, as the majority of the crowd was when I saw it... Give it a chance... It's worth a look...
