Unbreakable (2000)
A very good film.
I dislike most of Bruce Willis' performances yet his performance here is excellent. The other performances are wonderful too, particularly Robin Wright Penn's, another actor whose previous performances rang hollow for me. The direction was marvelous and the writing literate and cogent. I can't believe that more critics aren't raving about this film. Makes me wonder what they're reacting to. This is a bizarre mystery fantasy where it's necessary to completely suspend disbelief. I found the writer/producer/director not only made it possible to do, but compelling. A very good (not great) story told as well as just about any film has ever told a story.
Simpatico (1999)
A Stinker!
A really poor script + really bad direction & editing = a stinker! What a waste of a great cast. Four great actors couldn't even breathe life into this. I felt sorry for them.
Most critics seemed to think this film was o.k. I know I'm not, but did some professional critics even watch this thing?
The Insider (1999)
Magnificent!
Best movie of '99. Probably, of the last 5 years, and very possibly, of the decade. Brilliant direction. Rich, powerful performances. Intelligent, literate and realistic screenplay. Beautiful cinematography. Go see this film. Then go see it again!
