The story is familiar, but the visual execution is what makes the film so memorable and unique. Some may say that this is a triumph of style over substance. I'm more inclined to say the style IS the substance, and what style! The film is like an empty canvas where we can witness Tarsem's crazy, perverse, disturbing, and absolutely beautiful imagination. Even over 10 years later, the visuals hold up incredibly well. If anything, watch this film for the imagery alone. I promise, you won't forget the trippy experience.
No visual gorgeousness is worth it. It's a very dumb and predictable script and Jennifer Lopez is only concern in being sexy and trying to seduce everybody, even her child psychology patient. A total waste of time.
This movie my be something else whilst on certain drugs. Without them, it's not much. It seems to be trying to be 'Silence of the Lambs' crossed with 'Fantastic Voyage' - literally getting into the mind of a killer.

I hate to use the word "random," but we are speaking of a movie whereinmook
Miscast and clumsy at times but still a unique SciFi/Fantasy take on the serial killer film, with interesting visuals. 6/10.Follow me on Twitter @LastFilmSeen
