Goofs

Every time Val Kilmers character speaks you can easily tell his voice is dubbed over with someone else's (this is because Val Kilmer was being treated for throat cancer during filming and because of the surgery his throat was swelled so much he wasn't able to talk correctly)

User Reviews

Good cinematography, messy narrative

Do you sometimes feel you're stupid for not understanding what's going on? I felt like that when watching this. Then, read the reviews and was relieved that the fault was not mine.
