*spoilers ahead

Rating: 3/10 (9 January 2002)

*here is the most important spoiler of all. this film blows. I was almost forced to watch this and by the end i felt let down. the first 45 minutes or so were quite entertaining. i was actually watching what i felt was an above average film. i have no idea what happened after that. did mr Crowe get some geeky 15 year old to finish of the remainder of the film. it was just too outrageous to really get into what was happening and it has all been done before.
the thousand or so twists were pure tripe, especially the last one. the scene in the elevator has to go down as one of the worst scenes in movie history. A credible director, a credible (arguably so) superstar, and a great Aussie talent in Noah Taylor managed to give us the biggest let down of an ending in movie history.
after leaving the cinema i asked my friend how even the most feeble minded movie goer could enjoy a film like this. unfortunately he dropped afew names much to my dismay. did i miss something. if this movie isnt about a successful high flier who gets disfigured in a car crash and goes through all these stupid dreams only to find his mind has been programmed all along and discovers it 150 years later. please, spare me.
im a big jason lee fan but how bad was his acting when he met mr cruise outside prison near the end of the film.
this movie should be renamed "OH NO MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!"
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
