Masterfully constructed and yet eventually rather wearisome. Go to Full Review
James Slaymaker Vague Visages 06/15/2023
Like Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Ferrara collapses history within his iconographic mise-en-scene, stressing the burden of tradition his characters have placed on their shoulders. Go to Full Review

Alain E @AlainE Oct 31 A lot of consternation about this movie mostly because people fail to understand that this is equivalent to a graphic novel addressed to an adult audience. The director indulges in obtaining excellent sensual images in the prolonged night club sequence for example. It doesn’t enhance the plot but creates nice images with low lighting. Violence mostly occurs off screen. We learn that bad things happened at Hosaka’s lab but we don’t witness anything. Dafoe is holed in the dingy hotel of the title with a small pistol, but we never see him firing it. Obviously Walken and Dafoe can select where to work and they thought this was quality entertainment, but not for the masses, I would add. See more steve d May 30 It deserves half a star. It gets two for the Asia Argento topless parts and for the mere presence of Walken. A lot of baffling directorial decisions here. It's trying to be a few different things yet achieves none of them. But Asia Argento is sexy at least. See more Chris L 07/23/2024 Great cast, interesting premise and lost of beautiful people. What could go wrong? Everything else. Awful movie See more Ravenswood R 04/01/2024 Fragmented and shoddily put together jumble of a story with an interesting and amusing performance by Christopher Walken. The story is very poorly explicated. It has a mood you can never quite put your finger on, kind of sardonic but also dreary. There really does not seem to be any story worth telling. The end is so annoying and confusing that if you make it that long you will regret not switching it off. Everything this has to offer is over in the first 30 minutes, the rest is repetitive and redundant, with actual scenes repeated several times for no apparent reason. See more Barasona 04/24/2023 Adaptation of the homonymous story written by William Gibson manages to faithfully capture a monologue by the protagonist in a somewhat more traditional film style. The performances are impeccable and the setting is very well achieved. See more 10/26/2021 Abel Faraera exploits every woman he films, he just cant help it and walkin and dafeo join in. bad script, lame story and horrible cinematography See more Read all reviews
