Worst two reviews:
15) Chicago Reader - There are no characters to care about or remember afterward - just a lot of flashy technique involving decor, some glib allegorical flourishes, and the obligatory studied film-school weirdness. (Rating: 30) Read Full Review >
16) Washington Post - A punky, futuristic effort by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro, it is a tasteless variation on "Sweeney Todd" set geographically near the border of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil." (Rating: 30) Read Full Review >
