What a Waste of Talent

Rating: 1/10 (16 February 2000)

Quite unfortunate. I respect most of the people in this movie, and they do show some good acting chops in this movie. Unfortunately, it's a pale screenplay directed with no distinction. Ed Norton had already done a brilliant movie about fascist-wannabes with "American X," so what was the point of getting involved in this mess? Norton deserved better, as did Pitt, Bonham-Carter and Leto. Sad - I was hoping for a meditation for modern life and the culture of violence. I guess I'll just have to go back to "American History X" and "Natural Born Killers."
