Exotica DVD

Advantages: Good central performance
Disadvantages: Poor secondary characters

...made initially to address some serious points about the darker side of modern society they are lost as the film descends in to run of the mill Hollywood fare. The soundtrack by Mychael Danna is both solemn and high tempo when required and provides a good atmospheric audio backdrop to the action but it will not stay in you memory for long and Danna has produced better work in some other of his films like The Ice Storm, Johnny Mnemonic and Exotica. AVAILABILITY The film is available in both VHS and DVD format priced from Amazon.co.uk at £5.99 and £12.99 respectively. The CD soundtrack is only available in the US.

...Being a DVD virgin you will have to be kind to me and put up with me lack of knowledge on what to write in a review of a DVD. Well the way I see it I love the film and have recently acquired the DVD, from a friend, and so thought what the hey, I mean I have nothing better to do with my Saturday afternoon (well i did so really add Sunday night to that too). The Matrix was one of the biggest films in its year of release, and rightly so, this is a fantastic film that has both style and substance. It is superb and personally I cannot knock it. Many people took the feeling that this was just special effects, wrong the story is so intricate and complicated you cannot watch it only once.
