Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It was hard to watch the entire movie (I did though), but holy cow what a messy plot, poor special effects and the main actors relationship felt forced.It may have just been over the top artsy (I like artsy usually) but between the scattered plot (if there really was one) and the over acted leading man, I just couldn't get into it. Sure the subject (over advertising) was clear, but it was difficult to follow along since it was all over the place.Leelee was beautiful though; she's got some good facial expressions in there (but their kid; wtf was that all about, where'd he come from and what was the point of showing him if you can't get to know him).If you intend on watching this one; grab a drink (and by drink I mean a strong one) and try to keep up or stay awake; it's rough.

Well, I didn't enjoy it, but if you are a fan of 1950's Hollywood B movie films, then maybe you will. I didn't think it was possible to have such rubbish effects these days and I can't decide if it was a deliberate parody or simply the result of a tiny budget.Interesting to see it reflect real life in 1980s Britain, when it was gripped by the fear of BSE, also known as Mad Cow Disease. The mawkish love story was not interesting. The idea of Lenin as the first marketing guru was a new one on me and was interesting.However, the moral was clumsy and obvious, as were the effects. The credits at the end was about the most visually attractive thing in the film.Not for me.

The movie describes the destruction of the World by greedy corporations as they battle between themselves over the minds of the people, using any dirty tricks to manipulate us into "slavery" and "worship" of the brands they advertise. The movie is trying to portray ordinary men as stupid animals, a flock of sheep, unable to think and reason, blindly following every advertisement they are shown on TV. In the end, the "good" Governments step in and "shield" the masses with regulation prohibiting advertising and branding at all. Then finally tranquility rests upon the World... The movie uses very graphic imaging to draw the evil of branding by private enterprises and suggests that only Governments should be allowed to engage into advertisement, using Soviet Union as an example... Truly a brilliant piece of Communist propaganda!

I'd say this movie tried to make a statement in weird ways. Yes, food companies hold a major responsibility in the obesity crisis in the U.S., but the way the movie said this was a bit strange, especially with the illusions the main character could only see.The film started out strong by showing the power of advertising and marketing, but fell flat in the second half with corny scenes and the like. The presence of Hollywood actors like Max Von Sydow and Jeffery Tambor didn't help that much, considering that they had minor roles.Would I recommend this film? No, there are better ways to spend 106 minutes of your time. Give this a pass.
