Intelligent, interesting, intriguing. Not for your average idiot

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 1998)

This is by far redemption for American movie producers/fans. It's so refreshing to see a movie where the dialog is not simplified to lowest common dolt, and actually has enough witticisms to entertain someone with at least an average intelligence. The `violent' scenes are mostly off screen; not only are we not de-sensitized by needless violence in movies, we're also spared the needless glorification of senseless violence. The use of music, lighting, and setting the mood for each scene are classic examples of what makes a movie TRULY an experience! As the tensions seem about to peak in most scenes, you'll notice the camera starts to pull back, pan away, or lead you (as the audience) away from the scene. Even the cheesy dialogs that occur are done artistically, leaving you humored instead of annoyed at another idiotic senseless dribble from some script. For those people who don't appreciate this film, don't worry, the film industry will continue to give you the `stuff' you're aching for (Dumb&Dumber, Postman, WaterWorld, etc.)
