Delirious Nonsense, 1 August 1999
1/10
Author: SolaceJC from Philadelphia, PA

I rented this movie after reading the back of the box at the video store. It sounded like an interesting movie. Some beautiful scenery and some good music helps set the background for this movie, but unfortunately there's absolutely nothing in the foreground. This movie bounces from one delirious notion to the next, never getting a firm grip on anything. Odd camera work and almost laughably poor sound effects make the movie all the more confusing. There is a moment of interest later in the movie when lives are in danger, but that is quickly extinguished (in more way than one). This movie goes nowhere, and accomplishes nothing. There is only one part in the film that I thought was cool, and it lasted about 10 seconds. This movie is simply not worth your time.
