gotta love disfunctional people :o)

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2000)

I've seen a myriad of reviews on here for this movie and they either are:"I hate it!" or "Wow!!"
I have to agree with that last statement. One thing before hand. Some reviewers say that The Matrix was a LOT better. I'm sorry but no. Apart from the great FX The Matrix was a shallow movie.

On to this movie. I don't know if this qualifies as a spoiler but just to be sure:"If you haven't seen this movie and you don't want to know what goes on it it then don't read this"
It relies heavily on atmosphere and the knowledge that deep down we're all somewhat dysfunctional. What's so great about this movie is that we actually see a man go thru his personal hell and in the end realise that this actually relates to your own life. I had this same experience with MTV's cartoon series(and comic book series) The Maxx. What you see is real. Not some made up social problems but real social problems that you can find in your own life. Ofcourse you don't beat the crap out of people everyday like in the movie but this is merely meant to illustrate the problem.
All in all I thought this movie was nicely dark and sarcastic. It gave it a very cult feeling. Somewhat goth if you wanna add another stereotype. This is not for people who like their movies simple tho. Maybe that's why it got such bad reviews. And as for Brad Pitt... He's one crazy S.O.B. or isn't he? hehe..
