nice film! antithesis of regular epidemic movie...scott burns script also takes shot at monster movies...subtle, creepy, cerebral...

this film is surely a gazelle/antelope or an ibex...stylized and funny. the script has a great structure built around circles...dialogues and scenes are repeated but wd diffrnt meaning each time giving it a circular narrative. coen bros certainly have an ear for dialogue...must see for any cinephile

a scathing critique of Hollywood obsessed with happy endings...truly a remarkable film...a perfect film 4 all those director who think that heavy handedness or muscular direction is very effective...Altman's laid back style and the acerbic tone is what lifts up the film...the screenplay is tight and sharp...superb performance by tim robbins...All time fav of mine! "traffic was a bitch!"

If god had a face it would surely be like godard's
