most people will hate this movie

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 1999)

Most people will interpret this film as an ultra violent male fantasy. That's not what it is, though. It's a vision of human angst and bitterness at the way things are. It's the kind of movie that makes you think. That's always good, in my book.
The setup of the movie, actually the entire first act, is movie making in top form. The punch line (sorry), is difficult to watch, and the message of the movie will get lost here, for most viewers. Technically, there are some real gems here. The visual composition (did I really just say that?) and the special effects really amazed me.
Taken as a whole, this movie is amazing. Dissected into parts and examined out of context, it's will be just another reason to hate movies. You can dislike an idea represented in a movie and still like the movie. People often forget that.
