BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

overthetopandhappybso i'm not totally sure what to make of this film, it has a weird mix of actors, some classy and some not so. the good actors were unable to lift crimetime out of utter mediocrity, and in my humble opinion it was over long, and bordering on painfully tedious in some places. i stuck with it simply out of curiosity, having read the other reviews, but in all honesty i just feel cheated out of 2 hours of my life that will never come back. i think it is to be avoided at all costs, except for those wanting to enjoy looking at the oil slick that is stephen baldwin's hair, or the grotesque mask like appearance of karen black's face. 4/10 is the best i can do, and those points are probably all pete postlethwaite's, whom one can say, did his best in the face of adversity.

b-somers Who is this guy with his totally out of order comments? This movie is the BEST - you understand that word BEST? The screenwriter is absolutely the last word and I should know I AM THAT SCREENWRITER - sure i made a mistake or two but at least i made a movie - which is more than the writer above (or below) has done. You see what I mean? Just watch the film, forget whether its good or bad and wait for that special moment when I APPEAR - actually acting with real words and everything - and I got to keep the tie. But seriously let's have a good look at the film - is it my fault if Stephen Baldwin went all method when he really has none and who wouldn't say Pete Postlethwaite isn't really CREEPY and Sadie Frost, OK, a strange choice perhaps and why wasn't Madonna given the part she wanted it or at least that's what she told me. But enough .....

Daucuskarota 1334 OK, I agree it is not the great film it could have been, but we have to accept that the problem is not the film itself but the script. The film contains everything to be a hit: nice story, good plot and well done characters, even its soundtrack is excellent.Some people say the problem is the lack of deep characters, but since when this art is made only with characters? most of them represent nothing but emotions, in other words, they are symbols the writer and the director use to say something...The film is trying to establish an atmosphere of uncertainty; the big real problem is that the movie is trying to show too many different things, but it can not do so.Watch it and then judge by yourself.

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.)
