Query: utter dreck

Andrew Kevin Walker who wrote the fine "Seven" stumbles here. But he had help. The film, a lurid journey through the sexual netherworld, becomes bogged down almost immediately by starchy dialogue and forced performances. Nic Cage painfully overacts here. See his reactions while watching the eponymous film alone, unable to voice his disgust. Or the way he wipes his fingers on his coat after handling pornographic snapshots. Hardly subtle. Schumacher must shoulder some blame here. From behind the camera he must have seen his actors getting away from their roles and should have reined them in some. Self-conscious editing unfortunately does not distract enough from a story that decends into simple-minded gratuitousness and revenge fantasy. And an annoying sub-plot involving his wife mars the film further. One element of "8mm" that intrigues is the music, a blend of contemporary Middle Eastern rythyms, though it has no place in this film.
