This script is as oblique as it is pretentious.

It's much better than you've heard.

De Palma pulls his own switcheroo on the real story as it's about to reach its climax and replaces it with a fake one.

...suspenseful and sensuous, exasperatingly preposterous, and almost every minute entertaining.

Wickedly funny, visually engrossing, never boring, this movie challenges us to think about the ways we consume pop culture.

So what was De Palma thinking...did the moviemaking mastermind behind such intriguing fare like Blow Out, Scareface, and the super-charged Mission: Impossible drink too much cough syrup to the point where it left him uncharacteristically disoriented?

Como obra de arte, este projeto falha grosseiramente (e vai despertar a revolta de muitos espectadores). Já como exercício cinematográfico, merece um pouco mais de atenção.

What's so fun about this silly, outrageous, ingenious thriller is the director's talent. Watching a Brian DePalma movie is like watching an Alfred Hitchcock movie after drinking twelve beers.

Emotionally and intellectually resonant.

A lovely, unapologetic rendering of all the stuff that makes De Palma films tick -- and great stylish fun to boot.
