wonderful youthful excess

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2000)

This not a Hollywood film - it is wild, it is colorful, and it is crazy, and more than anything, it is an individual vision, something Hollywood has not allowed since the glorious old days. You will be throughly sick of Chris Rock's over the top DJ by the end of the movie, but other than that, Milla Jovovich is mysterious and beautiful, Bruce Willis is himself, and Ian Holm scores yet again and as the actor with an uncanny sense of what scripts are going to turn into extraordinary movies.
In my opinion, not since Orson Welles was let loose in the Universal back lot to make Citizen Kane has there been such a fine example of youthful cinematic genius. Forget maturity, go back to being a teenager for a couple of hours; you won't get arrested.
