>Worst movie since Mulholland Drive

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2002)

SPOILERS!!! Another pseudo-intellectual mish-mash. This might have made a decent "Twilight Zone" episode, but fails as a feature. It was obvious from the beginning that the movie was a series of nightmares. Cruise's character was such a complete jerk that I could generate NO sympathy for him at all, and all the acting was pathetic. Cruise ought to stick to action flicks. He is sadly misguided in his choice of "art films" (Eyes Wide Shut....another stinker). This is just another film trying to copycat the "Sixth Sense...(or dreaming or hallucinating) climax"" that we saw again in The Others and Fight Club. As in Mulholland Drive, which turns out to be a bunch of leftover footage from a failed TV pilot, this film is a hodge-podge of stylistic footage that tries to fool viewers into thinking they are watching art.
