Bonfire of The Vanities + 1, 29 August 2000
Author: centropolis from pervertedfetish@hotmail.com



This movie was not as bad as Bonfire of The Vanities. But, DePalma needs to go to rehab. He is such an awesome director. He is a terrific stylist. He did his homework, and took out the old b**ch next door's trash. Why? Ok, Lithgow gives a pretty good performance. Lolita Davidovich still needs to go to acting school. Steven Bauer is back a la Scarface, but not half as good. Steven Burum, still knows cinematography. Gale Anne Hurd rips off some producing credit...but it should have gone to DePalma. It's not as bad as Bonfire of The Vanities. But. That doesn't say much...it has it's suspenseful moments. But its flaws are very visible.
