Plot Synopsis:

Ralph Fiennes is a small-time sensation peddler who gets involved with themurder of one of his friends in the two days before the year 2000. Angela Bassett is his much-too-competent and likable friend/bodyguard, and Juliette Lewis is his much-too-unlikable old-time fling.

Favorite Moments:

  • Angela Bassett shooting her way out of a once-flaming car underwater.
  • Camera sex (ick) with Juliette Lewis. I now feel that I've had sex with Juliette Lewis
  • Ralph Fiennes' hang-dog expression through most of the film. On the positive side, he also wears black leather pants throughout the entire film.
  • Small part by Glenn Plummer as the new messiah, Jericho One. And if anyone has to be the future doomed messiah rapper...
  • Michael Wincott, who's always fun to watch as a bad guy...
