Review of 8MM

8MM (1999)
1/10
another Hollywood crap-fest
26 February 1999
This film is quite a let down. Its depiction of the S&M scene is nothing other than cliche. It appears that the script may have had some potential. However, the film makers chose the easy way out and kept everything on the predictable level. The characters are all flat flavorless bores. Especially Cage's. It's a prime example of one dimensionality. The film takes no risks, although the marketing will have you thinking the movie delves deep into the dark side of the human psyche. In reality, it's nothing more than a waste of 2 1/2 hours.

The best part for me was during the big climactic scene as Cage is creeping in the big bad evil guy's house, the projector died and the lights came on. Best laugh in the whole movie...
