possibly the most underrated film of all time., 2 January 2004
9/10
Author: odness from louisiana, usa

director medak has produced a movie classic; lena olin and gary oldman give (by far) the most outstanding performances of the year in this very complex tale. U WILL NEVER SEE A CHARACTER LIKE OLINS AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE. easily the best movie of 1993.
