Defines Stylish

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 2001)

This picture defines stylish. The structure of the script is terrifically clever. and an astonishing amount of plot is presented in a relatively short time. The cast is excellent. However, although the particular mechanism of the final twist is interesting, anyone who didn't see (or at least suspect) it doesn't go to too many films.
I believe the real appeal of the picture is the identification with the criminal mastermind Keyser Sose; monstrously evil types have exercised a fascination for audiences since Christopher Marlowe. But ultimately that is pretty shallow stuff. The picture gets an A+ for style, a B - or C for substance.
