I used a quote from this movie in my VNV Nation epinion. Well, they used it and I just included the quote for the review. Good quote though.

Thanks for the great epinion!

Nice! (Reply to this comment)

I had never heard any good reviews about this film before, so I had no interest in seeing it. But I *love* films with the kind of creepy, disturbing imagery you describe, so I now intend to check it out. Thanks for your thorough review.

Your review makes me want to see this film again. I saw it a looong time ago and all I remember is that the ending was weird, or different, or unexpected...I can't remember now!

Oh yeah, and it had that hot hunk of a man, Tim Robbins in it.

Thanks for another great review,

Thank you for writing a review on a film I also think is greatly underappreciated. I didn't mind the extra exposition so much as how I felt it was rather thrown in. Lyne probably thought some explanation was needed after keeping your adrenaline mysteriously pumped for so long? Either way, great film and wonderful review!

I don't think, I would be able to describe this movie. It is a very intense flick and took me twice or three times to fully understand, what it is really about.

Great job and great choice of movie review.

to have discovered your reviews! This is a movie I'm going to have to watch again. I recall having felt vaguely disturbed by the whole thing but think I missed a lot.

Plus, since this movie came out, I've come to like Tim Robbins and will be interested to see him in an earlier role.

Thanks!
