Lost Highway (1997)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 9/11

9/11: Yeah, it's what I call a David Lynch experience and a bad one at that.

Lost Highway seems to have all the right elements, but it falls apart midway when I asked myself a simple question: "What's the point?" It's also long to sit through, leaving me uneasy in the hopes for a quick finish. Hence, forty-five minutes should've been cut out.

The film starts off slow during the first half-hour by not getting anywhere, and then, all of a sudden, it's a whole new ballgame. Eventually, two threads link together that's abstractly accomplished. The plot is common which is about a guy losing his self-control by letting a woman decide his fate. If not for David Lynch's name, the film deserves a rating of '1'.

All in all, I'm beginning to realize that David Lynch sucks.
