After waiting a year fro this movie to come out, I was forced to watch it on video. It was worth the wait to say the least, but this is a film that is quite flawed. Wim Wenders has made a living doing off-beat films such as this, but this one tends to lack for some reason. Sometimes the intersecting stories seem awkward, or Tom Tom is just a little too dysfunctional or Mel Gibson seems too cranky. Donal Logue was excellent, and the scene at the end of the film with Jeremy Davies and Tim Roth is amazing. If the entire movie had managed to capture that essence and power, it would certainly have been a better movie. But instead, it turns into some unusual video for weird electronic music and U2.
