Vanilla Sky (2001) - ***1/2 Directed by: Cameron Crowe A young business-man jumps to conspiracy theories when an accident leaves him deformed, and later arrested on murder charges.
I feel this film is often under-rated, and over-looked. The performances may not be the best from its cast, but are none-the-less great. The story itself pulls you in, and is hard to break interest from. Cameron Crowe puts together a great film with a superb cast, an interesting style, and some pretty cool visuals; Not to mention the great soundtrack, compiled of modern rock which he opens up with Radiohead--my personal favorite, who were even later credited as composers--an original by Paul McCartney, and a beautiful finale with Sigur Ros. A very entertaining, and well put together film.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
