Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

FlashCallahan There are many reasons to watch this movie.One is not to appreciate the acting, or plodding direction, but to see how badly a film can date.1996 does not seem that long ago to me, but after seeing this, it feels like 1985, because of the costumes and the sets, it dated the moment it was printed.It's Natural Born Killers light, Baldwin re-enacts Postlethwaites murders on the titular programme, and the more murders there are, the more famous and involved Baldwin becomes.It's an interesting concept, visual media wanting crime to carry on in order to boost ratings, but it's handled so poorly. Sluzier hit the jackpot with 'The Vanishing' but here he seems like he has given up on the whole movie business.Postlethwaite is as reliable as ever, and Baldwin proves again, he is the third most popular in the family business.It's a little overlong, and the ending feels a bit rushed, but there is something unique in the movie and the story trying to get out, which is a shame, because this is a cracking concept.

rickpalmer83 I liked this movie enough to buy it. I am not sure why other people see it as being such a terrible movie and screenplay.I don't even like Stephen Baldwin, I should say that I am a huge Alec fan, but I thought he pulled this one off in some strange way. Sadie Frost was weak at times, but it wasn't really her sort of role to begin with. She is the reason I give this movie 9 stars instead of 10 stars. Pete P. was awesome as always. The script seemed fine to me. It has holes, but few don't. I am a writer, and have been working on a script of my own. Writing scripts has proved more difficult than writing the novel I have been working on.The movie has its flaws, but few movies are flawless. It was enjoyable, entertaining, and I would recommend it to people who haven't seen it. Just my opinion.

Andrew Nathan (flamingstarcollectibles-1) Thinking that it could only get better was the worst assumption I ever made....Drivvle does not describe this movie appropriately enough!Not only is the plot thin, but I get more emotional acting from my pet fish!It was a shame to see Pete Postlethwaite, whom I respect as an actor trying to do the best with the little he had to work with...I think that a cardboard cut out of Stephen Baldwin would have done a better job , and in fact have been more animate.Avoid at all costs! This could really be hazardous to your health!

Phroggy The basic idea for this movie was good, but there was no real character development and the pacing was slow. Maybe because I saw it in a sloppily edited, pan&scanned video version ? (It went straight to video in France.)
