Perfect cast and a good story
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
What is it that you want out of movie? To not utilize your brain? To not use critical thinking? To be spoon-fed the plot, summary and theme? If you answered "yes" then go watch something from Disney. In my honest opinion, a good film stimulates brain function. A great film leaves you pondering for hours after the credits. A fantastic film leads you to write reviews on the internet to chastise those who have become mindless, brainless robots that can only comprehend straight-forward thinking. This film is not for the weak-minded. So, if you haven't a weak mind or a dim wit, then I say give it a go! If, after watching this film, you feel confused and possibly agitated, then Bravo! You CAN actually use your brain....aaaahhhhh feels so good!
Awful movie I want my dollar back I spent at the public library renting this posIt helped some when I watched a few minutes of the movie with Hopkin's voice-over, and he's saying (and I'm not sure I'm quoting 100% accurately), "I made this movie for me. If people liked it, fine. If they didn't, even better"Guess when you get to be rich and famous you can make crap like this. I can't believe it's rated a 5.1 from other viewersEven I a nonactor could have made something a lot better than thisCrapola
This movie is once again, one of those movies that someone thinks or tries to make others think that they understood it. Anyone who tries to make any sense of this is a MORON! My advise would be to take TWO not one but TWO hits of very strong acid and at least you'll get a visual thrill out of it!! Although at the end you may kill yourself for wasting your acid!!!! Being that this comment requires 10 lines of info, let me write something for those of you that will try to defend the movie. Unintelligble. Garbage. Schitzoid. Waste of talent. Movie is ice, with paper on destination with ringing clouds, on a sunny dive in the pudding.... Sounds like lion in a red light with seeing hair. Now explain that to me!!!!
Look, I'm sorry if half the world takes offense at this, but life is confusing enough. I don't need to watch it that way. I dig Anthony Hopkins, big time. I even watched Fracture, and I knew that would be a steaming pile of Quentin. But this thing is not well shot, and it's not daring--even if it is artsy. Well-produced films have reasons for cuts and fast edits, not this "oh, but it's a realistic interpretation" excuse. This thing'll make your head hurt. It's the fastest moving picture ever to take you nowhere at all. I still love AH, and I'll always give him another chance, but if you aren't made of time to watch bad ideas on screen, skip this.
