thrilling thriller, but don't read too much into it

Rating: Null/10 (18 November 2000)

i've just joined imdb and i'm confused by the criteria people use to rate films. PI is by no means the greatest movie ever but it is imaginative, truly mysterious and original. don't compare apples and oranges ( HK cinema and hollywood CGI no plot epics etc.) PI has a hard boiled detective, metaphysical sci-fi' conspiracy flavor that anyone can enjoy. the performances are great,sets imaginative, the camera work shows atechno world built on garbage. the film isn't about technology but the weakness of people who want an ANSWER for the worlds problems. well worth a rental.
