Hard to know what to say about this movie. It's not bad, but it never
really catches that spark (ironic, given the prominence of Edward
Burns's arson inspector character). The story's satirical slant seems
obvious, and perhaps even a little out of touch. (Why are the
media-obsessed villains foreigners? Given the targets of the cultural
critique, you'd more likely get home-growns playing such a debased
game.) One positive note: in the "credit where it's due" department, big
props to Director of Photography Jean Yves Escoffier--this is a
beautifully shot film.
