People miss the point that the movie is about split personality.

Rating: 7/10 (16 July 2000)

SPOILER ALERT In the era in which Hollywood turns out piles of trash one has to look carefully for any sparkle that a movie can provide. Out of about twenty comments, out of 700 plus, I have read about this piece none makes the point which I consider central to this picture: it is a novel, and hence, fresh, take on the timeless theme of split personality. In other words, a variant of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Trying to give it political or philosophical subcontext is futile; thank goodness, given Hollywood's left-wing bias. While I have only rated the movie as "7", which is below its over-all IMDb composite, I am certain that, when viewed in the above contex, it will provide great entertainment in addtion to getting viewers to think. And that's an accomplisment in itself.
