And Tom never even got laid!

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 1999)

Minor ending to a great career - how sad to end it on what is really just an elaborate "will I or won't I cheat on my spouse" movie. Surely there are more important things to worry us at the turn of the century than a bit of hanky panky on the side.
Maybe I've lived a very "full" life but the goings-on witnessed by Tom are all pretty trivial - all he does is visit a prostitute and witness a bunch of wealthy New Yorkers having a masked orgy. I find it hard to believe that a couple of thirty something rich gorgeous people like Tom and Nicole, living in New York, wouldn't have seen it all before.
But anyway good acting, great steadicam work - but Kubrick made better and more profound films than this ("Paths of Glory", "Dr Strangelove" and "2001" especially). And when will Hollywood get over the silliness that male genitalia is somehow naughtier than female and never to be show? And why was Nicole shown nude constantly and Tom never? Very sexist double standards! I liked Alan Cumming's cameo though, even if it was stereotyped.
