John Cusack just gets better and better!

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2000)

The journey we experience along with John's character is introspective and fun. High Fidelity allowed for intimacy one finds when seeing a play because he interacts with the audience by speaking directly to us, as he is trying to understand himself. Rob involves the audience who wonders at his inability to see what he finally figures out, that is with the help of Laura. She is the one who dumps him at the beginning of the movie, to which he responds that she should have gotten to him earlier if she really wanted to get to him. Obviously she did get to him because it sets the premise of the whole movie. The introspection of Rob. Laura does seem a little preoccupied with her American Accent, but the few times her homeland comes through adds some interest. She should have let the accent stay. Go see this movie if you are interested in seeing John Cusack at his best. Don't go see it if you are looking for light entertainment.
