Negative Positive
Title: Oddly entertaining
Review: Liked this more than I expected to. Watched it only due to Malkovich, who I think is hilarious and vastly underrated as a comic actor. Everything he does is funny to me, even when he's being serious. His wacked-out vibe fits perfectly here, and this becomes an alternately disturbing and funny tale of obsession and gullibility can be.I rarely felt sorry for anyone in this flick; they all get about what they deserve.Made by Kubrick's favorite AD, it's actually very well shot and cut, quite a fine little film in its own fashion. Malkovich makes it all work; the guy is totally individual and has great instincts in front of the camera.If you like good character portrayal and some goofy humor laced with pathos, this one's for you.
