Review of 8MM (1999) by Michael W — 16 Dec 2011
A dark masterpiece! Joel Schumacher created the world where a good man Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage) is sent into the dark world of under pornography to investigate a murder. Tom Welles guide/paid informant Max California (Joaquin Phoenix) warns Tom "If you dance with the devil you don't change the devil, the devil changes you.
Once private eye Wells enters the sick world of greed and vice Well's must face the abyss and its inhabitants Eddie Poole (James Gandolfini) and Dino Velvet (Peter Stormare). The depravity of the situation almost destroys Tom Welles, and creates a surprising conclusion.
I give 8 mm five out of five stars. 8 mm is not for the faint hearted!
