Some movies make me say, "What?", but this one made me ask, "Why?"  Because no one's motivation made any sense.  Christopher McQuarrie wrote and directed.

Incredibly repellent, but on the bright side it made me appreciate the Y2K New Year's party I went to.  Kathryn Bigelow directed, between Point Break and Detroit, which are better but still not good.
