Average movie ... Above Average Eye Candy

Rating: 5/10 (13 March 2000)

I don't have a lot to comment about here. I enjoyed the movie for the most part. I did not read the book it was based on, so I'm unable to comment on how well it represents the source material. I do think the video game footage took away from the film. It wasn't necessary to create the illusion of dementia. I don't know if Leo was the perfect casting choice, but it worked. Virginie Ledoyen was nice to look at, but did not bring much to the film in regards to acting ability. The location shooting on that island was just breathtaking. It was some of the most beautiful footage that I've ever seen. I thought the backpack culture premise was interesting. Overall, the film gets a 5 out of 10.
