What an insight

Rating: 5/10 (19 October 2007)

"The Doors" is just another piece in the bigger picture of the turbulent sixties which director Oliver Stone has so painstakingly created for us, along with "Platoon", "Born on the Fourth of July" and "J.F.K.". It has none of the power of its accompaniments, however it is an accurate depiction of the life and times of 'James Morrison.
The cast are quite sensational and very convincing with Kilmer a stand out as the spaced out Morrison. The era and the music is recreated splendidly and one is given a real feel for what was a troubled time. Stone's movie is very honest, never trying to sway your emotions and always letting you come to your own conclusions.
Never a sensational film (and not to my liking), but still one heck of an insight.
