This movie was annoying
I got so sick of Matthew Modine making out with hot chicks. That first scene with Annie 1 was just ridiculous. No one would actually do that, not in front of everyone else, not that long. Every time I felt another scene like that coming on (and there were a few more) I fast forwarded. Then, what the hell was Dennis Hopper supposed to be? A pornographer or a serious film maker? Hard to tell. He talked serious, but his "movies" were just naked women dancing around.
Also, they shouldn't have had Modine play an actor. I'm so sick of movies about Hollywood and actors. NO ONE CARES!
Finally, the ending was absurd. I won't give it away, but it didn't make any sense. And Claudia Schiffer (despite being beautiful) is not really an actress.
Despite all that, this movie did have some strong moments. I liked the beginning where Modine is talking to his shrink. Those scenes are strong. I liked his confusion, and his dread that he did something wrong. And Hopper was good at times. But there was no redemption here. What was the point of him sobering up and getting his life back together?
Mal: "Do you want to run this ship?"
Jayne: "Yes."
Mal: "Well...you can't."
