Intriguing disappointment

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 1998)

Whilst this film is a departure from the normal output of major studios, I found it quite disappointing. The basic premise of the film is certainly intriguing and no detail was overlooked but the ending is a cop-out (wouldn't Truman's death have made a much more powerful statement) and everything reaches a final Hollywood-happy conclusion. Good but not _that_ good.
