Surreal.

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 1999)

All I have to say about this film is "WOW!" I went into this movie hearing a lot of people say that it wasn't any good. The movie is a surreal fantasy and it sets itself up from the very beginning. Those of you who have read my comments on IMDB before know that my favorite thing in a film is atmosphere. This film has a great atmosphere from the very beginning and never lets up. I had heard many different things about Jim Carrey's performance. All I can say is that this is the best performance of his career so far and shows that he is much more than just a great slapstick actor. Peter Weir has done an excellent job with this film and Andrew Niccol's screenplay is amazing. Don't go into this film looking for Ace Ventura or Dumb and Dumber, you'll only be let down. This is a totally original film and a brilliant exhibition of the films Hollywood should make more often.
