Yes, it is original and it is great.

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2002)

Some people seem to have a great hang-up about everyone "obeying" the great reviews of this movie like sheep and liking it even though it's terrible. Well I saw this movie knowing nothing about it (no reviews were read, no word-of-mouth from friends) and I was blown away. It's unique, original, super-cool and just plain great. Do not listen to the negative reviews. See it with an open mind and enjoy. It is a modern day classic.
