Movie Reviews
“The idea of the film as an advertisement for itself, as a mass-media self-projection, is no coincidence—it’s one of the movie’s crucial reflections of the cultural moment in which it was made.” Richard Brody: The New Yorker
“Few films falling into the ‘mindless entertainment’ genre have as much going for them as this movie. Not only is it a thrill-a-minute ride, but it has one of the best film villains in recent memory (…) Rating: ???? (out of 4)” James Berardinelli: ReelViews
- “The idea has a certain allure to it (…) Inappropriate and wrongheaded interruptions reveal the fragile nature of the plot and prevent it from working (…) Rating: ?? (out of 4)” Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
