Passable, but nothing outstanding.

Rating: 3/10 (12 February 2000)

I was looking forward to Danny Boyle's latest, and I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised by Leonardo DiCaprio's acting. I was disappointed on both counts. This film is by no means atrocious, but after a year of so many good films, I just can't recommend this one. The plot drags and the characters are for the most part unlikeable. The soundtrack is the main high point of the film (the only part as good as Trainspotting), featuring some great tracks from Blur + UNKLE, as well as a nice score from Angelo Badlamenti (of Twin Peaks fame).
