Visually annoying, sometimes touching, but generally disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2004)

Wow, man, what's all that jazz for? You can use a TV set with this movie rolling as a freakin' electra lamp for a rave party! The images change one another as if you were watching a Honda advertisement, only the thing's almost 2 hours long... This flickering, which I suppose may be considered a "stylish approach", was what made me definitely angry, and I watched the movie with much less pleasure than I could've. Bad move, Tony.
But what REALLY surprised was the little Dakota Fanning's playacting. I haven't seen "I Am Sam" yet, so I don't know how good she was there, but in this movie she's IMPRESSIVE. And, of course, Christopher Walken as supporting actor is marvelous, no surprises here. The rest of the movie I just can't remember, so I suppose there was nothing worth of mentioning there.
To summarize: visually annoying, sometimes touching, but generally disappointing. In my opinion, Dakota Fanning's part in this movie is worth watching it, but then I might just be biased as I haven't seen (or can't remember) her in other movies.
