Has the world gone mad?


I just viewed this movie - ten years after its release - and even TiVo'd it so I could watch it in its entirety if I lost interest or fell asleep. Guess what, after four attempts and fast-forwarding through the parts I had already seen, I made it to the end.

If I could rate the movie, I MIGHT give it a 4 for the amount of big-name talent. But the acting and cinematography was poor at best.

I did not see any depth of character that has been mentioned. The storyline, while not entirely predictable, was poorly written and very loosely held together. If it weren't for the "A-list" actors, this movie would have been a made for TV, Lifetime channel rerun at the very best.

I know we're all entitled to our own opinions, and many of the posters on this forum like the movie. But I think you've all gone mad. Seriously, that's my opinion. And I don't say that to start any flame war.

I'll file this one in the ever-growing "No redeeming social value" file folder.

RIGHT YOU ARE, EmeraldEyes26. It seems as if our 'friend'-who-almost-fell-asleep did not understand the movie AND belongs to the PETITS BOURGEOIS CINEMA LOVERS who CLAIM ... always to be right with THEIR vision, in this case: might we have to do with a specimen of "GUILTY BECAUSE DEFENDING VOYEURISM"?

Both Karen and Mimi were smokin' hot. Damn, I envy Snipes in that role. I'd love to hit both them ladies.

I thought this was tripe. The women were especially annoying, if I were married to that ball buster Ming Na I'd have an affair too. The entire movie seemed disjointed. Abysmal!

She was supposed to be annoying, it's called acting.. Great movie, most people that hate it, have probably never been in a relationship.. Go back to Star Wars.

And you are posting it twice, because the ladies are two? 😃

Big names, bad acting, bad cinematography, bad script (terrible dialogues) ... there's no way to save this film. Made in '97 (maybe touching the AIDS issue was a hit back then, even after "Philadelphia"). I expected something deeper and by all means better from this cast and director.

Completely agree! A ridiculously naive movie. Pity for the stars.
