The Normal Tour-De Force Kubrick Film..... NOT a Normal Cruise Film.

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 1999)

It must be stated I loved this film... Eyes Wide Shut returns to the nineties the cinematic style and pacing that has been lacking as of late. Tragically this is the Grand Master Kubrick's final work, however it is a remarkable end to his career. Nicole Kidman is excellent in her (albeit brief) performance, if there is any negative comment about this film it would have to be Tom Cruise's acting... there are times when he is incrediable and also time when he looks like he is a rookie actor, dazzed by the filming going on. The trademarks of a Kubrick film are all here, the heavy music being masterly craft to make the ultimate amount of suspense and heavy tone... To all Kubrick fans see it immediately.... and Enjoy!
