$9.00 Canadian well wasted

Rating: 1/10 (29 June 1999)

I had already decided that I would give NH a miss in the theatre. Even the applauded appearance of Twin Town's Rhys Ifans committed this film to the VCR for me. I was swayed by the opinions of 5 friends and relatives to go.
They are all in the movie-reviewer guillotine now. I have never seen a more poorly written film in my life. The only thing that kept me in the seat, instead of demanding my money back was Mr. Ifans (and even his part wore a little thin toward the end) Not only was the film poorly written, there was not a shred of character development On the technical front, some of the editing actually made me wince. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY! There are much better films out there, including better ones made by these film-makers and actors. The scores in this DB are deceiving and the positive reviews in the press have obviously been written by people who never saw the film.
