Heart stopping action...no, really

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 1999)

The movie starts off pleasantly enough. An average man in an average town. Normal in all ways, except for the fact that his life is actually a 24-hour TV program, watched by the entire world. Sounds rather Twilight zone, right? Wrong. This is better than anything I've seen on the Twilight Zone. This was absolute heart stopping action, from start to finish. I couldn't believe how fast my adrenaline was pumping or how hard my heart was beating. This obviously isn't a James Bond flick or a movie with Mel Gibson. But this isn't Ace Ventura or Dumb and Dumber. When you begin to watch this movie, forget everything you know about Jim Carrey. Why? Because you will meet a different actor, a totally different man. In my opinion, the movie was robbed of an Oscar nomination, Jim Carrey was robbed of a Best Actor nomination, and he absolutely deserved the Golden Globe he received a few months back.
If you don't believe anything I've said, believe this: Please don't avoid watching this movie because of what someone else said. Don't avoid this movie because of Jim Carrey. Watch this movie. If you don't, you'll be missing out on one of the best movies of 1998, if not of all time. And that's what I think.
