Review

reminded me a bit of black angel because of the ending. the idea is a good one, but the execution is predictably lacking, especially in the final act. even when joel schumacher makes a great film like falling down, he bungles the ending a bit. when he gets a more mediocre film like this one (or phone booth or st. elmo’s fire), he bungles it even more. carrey and madsen are decent enough, but both have had better roles and better performances. it lacks all the oomph and humanity that pi provides. part, though certainly not all, of this is a result of a weak soundtrack.
