Top Critics Reviews

You can almost see money dripping off the walls of the sets and cybersets in this special-effects extravaganza.

The design is often brilliant, although the film is nowhere near as tasteless or funny as it ought to be.

Why do I still have a soft spot for this flick? Because there are glimmers of intelligence in the mess, because it must have driven the marketing department crazy, and because it fails so differently than all those run-of-the-mill failures.

There's unwieldy mess -- but there's also unruly brilliance to this dark and funny story.

One of those newfangled production design monstrosities that grabs you by the collar in the first ten minutes, then shakes you around like a rag doll until you're ready to drop.
