EVERYTHING IS ON THE HUSH HUSH...A GREAT FILM!!!

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 1998)

THIS IS A NOT A SIMPLE FILM...AND ONE MUST PLAY CLOSE ATTENTION FROM BEGINNING TO END TO GET THE ENTIRE GRASP OF THE MOVIE. IF YOU MISS A LITTLE, YOU MAY MISS A LOT, LET'S SAY. THE FILM IS NARRATED BY DANNY DEVITO IN THE BEGINNING ABOUT THE GOING'S ON AT HUSH HUSH MAGAZINE - A SORT OF "NATIONAL ENQUIRER" OF THE 1950'S. AFTERWARDS, THE FILM PROGRESSES QUICKLY...SOON WE ARE CAUGHT UP IN HOLLYWOOD, PROSTITUTION, AND POLICE INVESTIGATIONS - THE CENTRAL THEMES OF THE MOVIE, ALL OF WHICH INTERTWINE NICELY AND SERVE ONE CENTRAL PLOT AT THE END. RUSSELL CROWE, GUY PIERCE, JAMES CROMWELL, KEVIN SPACEY, AND KIM BASINGER (OSCAR WINNER) PLAY THEIR PARTS BRILLIANTLY. THE FILM IS DIRECTED SUPERBLY BY CURTIS HANSON. ALREADY. ENOUGH SAID. IT'S ALL HUSH HUSH FROM HERE ON OUT.
