Comments:
Great
and unusual movie. This is one of my favourite films
- then again I do also love Congo, Jack and Joe Versus
The Volcano, Bitter Moon and Extreme Measures. I think
all these films are very special - unfortunately,
most other people and critics tend to think they are
crap! And I'm not trying to be quirky, I genuinely
like them very much.
