Perhaps the most overrated movie of the 90's

Rating: 6/10 (20 January 2004)

Oh, come on. Yes, Spacey is excellent, and the rest of the cast does fine work. But the whole movie is like a magic trick, and once the trick is explained, what is there left? When I saw the movie the second time, I wasn't fooled by it, and I could see the machinery working - the wire we had been misdirected from, the card being palmed. Is there any reason to watch this movie a third time? I got annoyed with it half way through when it was on last, and have no desire to see it again.
So, a well made little trick that I enjoyed when I saw it, but nothing classic.
