Top CriticWenders' observations and subtextual commentary about violence in American society are well-served by the nuances of Nicholas Klein's script.

Doesn't seem sure what it is about, or how it is about it.

Top CriticA trama principal se perde em um emaranhado de cenas que, rigorosamente, nada acrescentam ao filme.

Las respuestas quedan flotando en el espectador, esperando ser rescatadas y entendidas.

If Wenders does not succeed in condemning the role of violence in movies (which was not his intention), he does unfold a work of intricate texture.

On the acting front, Pullman and the little-seen Lind are terrific, as is MacDowell.

Unique atmosphere, solid performances and profound discussions about the nature of our violent, technology-obsessed society don't add up to enough by the end of the movie.

The flippancy of Wenders and Nicholas Klein's script, and the lethargic performances of a star-studded cast, trivialize presumably good intentions.
01/01/00
It's practically an antimovie, almost plotless, self-referential, and unsettling. It refuses to wrap up neatly or comfortingly. But it's one of the most provocative films in years.
01/01/00
A longwinded exercise in pretentious confusion.
