Watched the whole darn thing. Then wished I hadn't wasted my time. I like to see a character grow and change. These characters do not grow - they waste their lives, and make the viewer feel the entire film a waste. If you find that feeling compelling, then watch it.

Critics don't pay to see movies--they get in free. In fact, they get paid to see movies. Maybe that impedes their ability to sync-up with public opinion. No one in his or her right mind should spend good money to see this painfully boring movie about a disgusting psycho/sexual creep, a charasmatic criminal posing as a \"religious prophet,\" and the weak-minded people who follow him

Superb acting! JP was at his very best. It also helps to know what the movie is really about.

Although many colorful verbs, adjectives, nouns, and pronouns, might be used to whimsically describe this supposed work of art----only one comes to my mind: Crap!!!!/ OK perhaps (in all fairness and candor a few more words): Pure, unadultarated and unholy Crap.
