Only 36 (well, 37)?

It isn't Videodrome or Naked Lunch (what is, or could be, either one of those?) It's very tense and does contain really great performances (Mortensen obviously), but I kind of violently disagree with the "not deep," etc. It's pretty deep, and the more I think about AHOV (since having seen it 4 yrs ago), it's probably the deepest work Cronenberg's done since at least Dead Ringers (and I love Naked Lunch)...

Better than Serpico...or what it should have been and not an Al Pacino vehicle (which isn't, or rather, wasn't, a bad thing necessarily)
