Slater's King Of Pain

"Were it not for the fantastic music present in this film, and a young Christian Slater's heartfelt performance (and that one scene with Samantha Mathis), this would have gotten a "lost interest" rating. This is pure melodrama, and I think this film tries to be "Talk Radio" without any of the biting wit that that film had. I will give it to Allan Moyle for at least attempting this type of film, but the angst is never angsty enough, the parent/teacher/student conflicts feel a little false and, like I said earlier, the only thing really keeping this film afloat is Christian Slater's solid performance (and the music). This film is average at best. " [More]
