Food for thought..., 27 July 1999
Author: Faizel from Johannesburg, South Africa

I found this movie very entertaining because the character played by John Cusack is somewhat of a tragic hero. Are his actions planned or instinctive? I just wonder whether the title refers to his character or to the one played by Jame Spader. Overall, the movie has a good message and always holds the viewers attention.
