as a film, it's irrelevant

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 1999)

We should be reviewing the hype, because it was more creative, more interesting and says more about our warped society than this turgid drama ever could. The movie was a triumph of clever fx and the manufactured yearnings of hormonally-confused 14-year-olds over such irrelevancies as acting, script etc.
Cynical product for a dumbed-down, undiscerning consumerati. Repulsive.
