Misled and Disappointed

Rating: 1/10 (5 February 1999)

I went to see this film expecting to see an "action" film since all the advertisements showed nothing but action scenes. If I had known the truth, that this was nothing more than three hours of sophomoric philosophy and BORING dialogue I would have avoided this film like the plague. I believe the action scenes were merely inserted to keep the audience awake. It didn't work. I also question the flashbacks. They were utter nonsense. They didn't explain anything about this guy's emotional status except that "he missed his wife and enjoyed having sex with her?" How does that differentiate him from anyone else? Lastly, I think that anyone that claims they "got" this film must be a psychology major or an elitest who goes along with whatever the critics and stars spout for appearance sake. Don't go to the theater. Don't rent it. Don't go if you're invited over to you friend's house to watch it. They're not your friend.
