Although this film is the most holey thing I've ever seen in terms of logic, it still has a certain appeal to me. It has some very interesting tracking shots, stylish pictures, great sound effects and of course Elizabeth Hurley. Viewed as a whole, this flick appears incomplete, as if it were piecemeal. It fails to tell a coherent story; whenever I had the feeling to comprehend what´s really going on, I was on the wrong boat again. It all boils down to the drug trip, on which nothing makes sense anyway (in this context, the mess of the film makes perfect sense). And so the actors run through the dream world of a madman, giving each other a shot from time to time in order to stay on his level and to be able to face him. "Beyond Bedlam" always wants to be more than it is but fails to accept that it ain´t.
