Incredible Film

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2001)

This is a truly great film. It takes a simple idea and renders it beautifully on the screen. I'm sorry to see that a lot of people found this movie to be lacking in action scenes and plot twists. This film only uses the idea of a comic-book super hero to explore notions of identity and purpose . . . weakness and strength. If you want to see explosions and larger-than-life action sequences, go rent something else.

Also, I watched this on DVD and had no problem with the lighting. Try adjusting your televisions or maybe the print at the cineplex had become dull.
