More movies should be made with this level of dedication

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 1999)

Watching this film was like a throwback to another cinematic time, Kubrick's style is a joy to watch. I found a few choppy transition scenes but the majority of the film was technically wonderful. Cruise and Kidman put in top notch performances. I was a bit disappointed by the omission of the 65 second orgy scene, I think the scene was central to plot and not gratuitous unnecessary sex. They really should have left the scene intact and taken an NC-17, this wasn't a movie kids would generally appreciate.
