In a word-Drek

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 1999)

You are in for a real treat here film fans: endless scenes of torture, abuse, bondage, a beheading, rape; assault...body functions, the human condition as a Butcher block, if you will.
Nothing in this movie makes me want to see it again-Morgan Freeman was better in the Electric Company; for Pete's sake, than he was here-and for Brad Pitt....he looks like he was mad at his agent for making him be there. Kevin Spacey is okay but so what? He was much better in Usual Suspects and the Negotiator. Gwyneth Paltrow as always seems vaguely emaciated, and the main co-star, the smothering rain-was as much in the way as anything else.
Don't go see this unless you have always wanted to know what the cause of a Scripted Barfing marathon looks like. Personally I can't imagine why dreck like this and Hannibal Lector keep on getting made; Hollywood must be wanting to reach the Jeffrey Dahmer/John Wayne Gacy demographic more.
Rating? ** outta ****; I hated this one-belongs in the goat bin.
