Stanley Kubrick is one of the greatest film makers of all time. Unfortunately, he.....like most creative people, ran out of inspiration years and years ago. I've watched this movie over and over and I still come up with the same blank page. I remember walking out of the theatre after watching 2001 the first time and having that wondering. This movie begs the same instinct, but without the substance. Eyes Wide Shut is not a BAD movie, in fact.......it is very well worth watching. It is just not a Kubrick quality movie. As long as I am slamming this picture, I might as well take the time to say how awful Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were in this endeavor. I never believed him as a DR. or her as anything. Sydney Pollock worked in his role as the shadowy rich guy, but they didn't do much with him either. This movie is a disappointment.
