ZZZZzzzzzz....

Rating: 1/10 (4 July 1999)

A plodding and laborious film that should have plenty of appeal to math geeks. If number crunching is your thing, by all means check it out, otherwise you'll probably get more enjoyment watching paint dry. The high contrast B&W cinematography is annoying as hell and serves no apparent purpose other than to make you squint, and the lead actor simply grates on the nerves with his introverted "tortured genius" act. Throw in a bunch of mathematical equations, stock market tickers and pocket calculators and it all adds up to one big ZERO.
