Title: Worst film ever made?
Product review: Oliver Stone's attempt at a psychedelic rendition of BADLANDS comes off as an empty shell of a film, and 4 HOURS of it is intolerable. Sure, if you're into seeing Ashley Judd and Denis Leary in parts that effect the film in no way whatsoever or see Stone get even more childishly grotesque in the decapitation of Tommy Lee Jones, then I guess this widescreen edition is for you. But unlike his exceptional TALK RADIO and JFK, here the essentric, paranoid director takes sensationalism too damn far and never comes back: he has nothing new to say. Instead of exposing the hypocrisies of our country or frightening ways the media turn killers into heros, he just goes into a foray of violence and ends up w/ a big pile of MTV-influenced, masturbatory nonsense.
