Director: Taylor Hackford

Underestimated from day one, you’d never think I am the master of the universe…

Beautiful and mature movie, has some great monologues and Al Pacino shows off his talent again. Until I saw this movie, I didn’t notice what devilish smile Keanu Rives has… Anyway the film is full of symbols and has a certain irony. Read the rest of this entry »
