Title: A really bad film!
Review: How could anyone make a boring movie involving murder and sex? Well, Stanley Kubrick has! This film trudges along at such a slow pace that even the most devote film enthusiast will be fighting to stay awake. At 2 1/2 hours, the film is vastly overlong and this is evident from the first scene that involves a party that never seems to end. The acting is okay although Nicole Kidman's character is annoying. Fortunately, her scenes are minimal. Photography and set decoration is excellent with rich saturated colors and impressive houses and decor. This is the film's only redeeming quality. The whole feel of the film can be summarized by Nicole Kidman's final line. Stanley Kubrick has made some of our most memorable films and it is sad that this had to be his swan song. And how wasteful that the actors involved in took so much time out of their lives. Truly one of the worst films I have seen in a while.
