Title: Holy clunker of a film, Batman!
Product review: I was seriously shocked at how leaden and uninteresting this film was. I've been a fan of Cronenberg for many years and have liked quite a few of his films. I've also always respected Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law. This film, though, was laughable. The dialogue was awkward, the acting was empty and the story was just strange without creating anything intruiging. I cannot believe the people writing reviews comparing this to The Matrix and calling it a "smarter version". Smarter how? Not even close. and the Matrix is not even a great film in it's own right - but compared to this, it is. A better film than both of these (which both films steal from, liberally) is Alphaville. Rent the Criterion edition and you'll know what I mean.
