2h 39m
1999
Stanley Kubrick
7/10
I will be honest: I did not get this film initially. It has a lot of nudity and expletive scenes, which I don’t prefer, but I would say the plot was intriguing. I was invested the whole way throughout the film, and going along the ride with Tom Cruise to find out what the fuck is going on. I would say that I did not expect anything that was starting to happen throughout the film, which did leave me a bit startled. I didn’t like the payoff the film offered, however, as I was still left a bit confused after the film ended, even with a bit of reflection. I have heard from other people that I should give this film another rewatch to actually find out what is going on and see the stuff that is foreshadowed. I think I will have to do this before I do give it a concrete score, but so far I think that this movie is deserving of a 7.
