Absolutely awful
0 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: totally without merit
Cons: See above
Rented this dvd expecting a spiritually enticing film. What I got was rubbish. A waste of time & money. Could be in the top ten of the all time bad movies. Avoid this stinker. ...

The Tarentino touch
Pros: visually stunning
Cons: extreme violence
This film sports 3 directors, but it smacks of Tarantino mostly. Although I am no fan of violence, this movie is so artistic, bold& riveting I was drawn in. With an outstanding turn by Mickey Rourke as a super human freak who finds love requires much killing...the directors are the real stars of this Mike Hammer on steroids. ...

Alexander the near great
1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Oliver Stone's commentary
Cons: Colin Farral& scene sequence
If you really want the fruit of this epic watch Oliver Stone's commentary in the special features. It is possibly better then the film. The directors dicision to jump forward then back in time made the movie somewhat hard to follow. Colin Farrel as Alexander was uninspiring...lacking in acting chops. On the other hand, Angelina Jolie was venomous as the devious, somewhat mad mother...sexy,motherly,
snake loving, clever, she proves once again taht she is more then nice lips. Not a bad movie but don't expect Lawrence of Arabia ... -

rekindled love affair
Pros: well written, fine acting, Paris
Cons: No surprises
Two very good actors... who also wrote much of this film...give bravado performances. Predictable, but this one-couple movie keeps you interested with their take on life and each other. ...

Batman roots
0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Fast=moving action
Cons: lack of acting chops of lead player
Yet another Batman.This time we see why he decided to don a silly batsuit and reak havoc on evildoers. A well-directed ditty with a strong supporting cast, the actor portraying batman seemed to me a bit shallow for the role. That said, the movie held my interest for 2 hours with crisp/plot& action. ...
