STUPID! BORING! INCOHERENT! SHOULD I GO ON??

Rating: Null/10 (16 December 2001)

Here we go: another one of those twisted, incoherent, and just plain weird movies that actually find an audience. It's scattershot, it's talky, it's confusing. Yet somehow critics and a small group of movie-goers dig it. I'll never know how. I can't even attempt to describe the "plot", but it concerns Cruise getting in a car wreck, ending up charged with a murder, meandering about city streets in a haze...ah, enough. People calling the ending "amazing", even though it's an old fallback idea that's been used in stories for a hundred years. Once again a trailer and advanced buzz rope us in. "A masterpiece!" "Spellbinding!" "With surprises no reviewer should give away!" Well, this reviewer is gonna give something away (and I'm normally not this childish): IT SUCKED!
