no go

Rating: Null/10 (7 January 2003)

On a rainy December night, more than a year ago, I piled into my local cinema to watch the latest film from legendary Cameron Crowe. When I left, however, the only thing I wanted was my money back.
VANILLA SKY is a disaster in every essence of the word. It shows what can happen when Tom Cruise gets his arms around a director and forces him to make a star vehicle.
The whole dream/reality was far too much for a rock journalist turned filmmaker. And although Crowe has talents in other genres, this one made him look foolish and grossly misguided. The only thing I really wanted to say was, "Get the led out."
