Watch it!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2010)

"Eyes Wide Shut" is a pretty crazy movie. I first discovered it while staying the night at a friend's house. They had already gone to bed and I was searching for something to watch on TV. I came across "Eyes Wide Shut" and it didn't take long for the movie to pull me in, in fact, it happened almost immediately. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but let's just say I walked in on probably the craziest part in the whole movie.
Needless to say, I was intrigued. I decided that I had to rent the movie to find out what the hell happened before I started watching. I really liked it. In my opinion, it's easily Stanley Kubrick's best film. I know a lot of people may disagree with that viewpoint, but that's my opinion.
People with short attention spans may not like the movie as it is what I call a slow-burner. A slow-burner is a movie that while it may take a while to build up to the climax, it's well worth it by the time it happens. Some people may consider the movie to be anti-climactic, but I don't. I think that the ending is abrupt, but still satisfying.
The visuals from this movie will stay with you for a long time. I can promise this, you'll never forget the scene I came in on. You'll know it when you see it. I don't want to give away anything more than that.
Do yourself a favor and check this movie out. I don't think you'll regret it!
