Wenders has succeeded in creating a mishmash of incendiary images about government conspiracy theories, but leaves the story up in the air.
01/01/00
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.
01/01/00
Often a pretentious struggle, saved only by the important, relevant theme that occasionally emerges.
01/01/00
Offers viewers opportunities to ponder a variety of diverse subjects, but its overall entertainment value is less than one might hope for.

This goes on for two hours and two minutes. When I staggered out of the theater, I asked if Clinton was still president.

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

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.

A meandering mess, a plodding dud.
01/01/00
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
Doesn't seem sure what it is about, or how it is about it.

It has its virtues -- Wenders is a skilled and thoughtful workman -- but hovers somewhere between a thriller and an art-house movie and won't fully satisfy fans of either.

A horrendous, useless, soulless, sprawling two hours of your life you will not get back.
