8MM
Respected but still waiting for a big break that will improve his professional status, Welles spends most of his time on routine cases involving unfaithful spouses and the like.

Walker at least has a solid premise here. Too bad the script didn't find its way to another David Fincher who could understand it.

An exploitation movie about an exploitation movie.

It's pretty sad that a big star/big budget film about a gritty piece of life that should powerfully effect the viewer at the gut level fails so miserably.

Poorly developed, 8mm is anything but a pretty picture.

I can't say I warmed to the results, but I was solidly held for the film's two hours.

The repartee between Cage and Phoenix is the high point in the film, which otherwise made me want to go take a long hot shower.

There's no faulting Cage's committed, intense performance, but his slide from professional, internalised concern into personal, self-righteous rage still leaves a nasty aftertaste.
