one of the best performance of the year ( 2007 ) and christian slater acting be superb and in fact spectacular . completely dispose of his own personal character and mr. slater have be able to transform himself entirely in this very performance labor production a a deranged employee . heavy element of brazil ( 1985 ) come to mind in this updated version of contemporary fantasy reality of the harsh fact of corporate existence and the alienation from the human compassion in today civilization . this production incorporate startle relevant human relation issue that pertain to today violent world . with the apparent increase medium attention to shooting in mall and school by individual whose behavior have bewilder america and this movie begin to shed some light on this tragic existence of some individual in our country . this innovative production value with a new fresh look together with an intense drama script come together to make this one of the best movie of the year . except perhaps for an end that could have go in a number of different direction and this movie be the complete package for emotional engagement and dazzle visual image and this movie be a must see for anybody who be concern about humanity in today modern world . nine out of ten star .
