Celebrated visualist filmmaker Terry Gilliam tries to go for a mainstream hit-movie sort of picture, but instead encountered one hell of a production hell(to give one an idea, he took a 6 month break inbetween shooting and directed another picture inbetween it). Not to mention the Weinsteins fired his cinematographer, and other wranglings that leave a movie that isn't terrible and is charming of sorts in a fantasy sort of way, but this isn't BRAZIL nor TIME BANDITS. Nope, this is a movie that one will forget watching almost immediately, and will only matter seriously to the director's fanbase. In other words, its like Martin Scorsese's BRINGING OUT THE DEAD.
