Started as 9 ended as a 7

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2002)

I gave it an overall 7 score. The movie started out a 9 and fell to a 7. The first 2/3 of the movie were addicting and I loved it. I have only seen this movie once and it deserves another look. Maybe I picked it apart too much or not enough.
This is the bottom line. A great movie that deals with fantasy or fiction has to take that piece of clay and mold the unreal real, the unbelievable believable, the fantasy desirable, the nightmare undesirable and this movie failed in this area. It took the unbelievable and left way too many holes in the story. It carried me away in the beginning but crashed me in the end.
