Amazing

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2001)

The Truman Show is probably the only decent movie Jim Carrey has made, as far as I am concerned. I have been pretty embarrassed by any movie starring him so far but this one. Blew me away how great is his acting here. The movie's premise was some years before the whole (And appalling by the way) Big Brother/Survivor phenomenon with a lot of taste and wit.
Unlike many other films, The Truman Show manages to build a disturbing atmosphere, because you don't quite know what's coming next. The special effects are awesome, especially when he and his boat reached the wall in his getaway.
Overall, amazingly good and an accurate description of what would be like a person's mundane life being the plotline of a TV series.
8/10.
