 Dark and taut and true to the book July 6, 1999

I liked this film a great deal. All the acting is exceptional, especially Christian Bale as Stevie and Robin Williams as a 19th century Mad Bomber. It has a wonderful score by Glass.
Bleak but powerful. A tour de force. August 2, 2001

Not for everyone. Powerful and true to the spirit of the book. A lot of it is from Conrad's own life, an alienation in a world of academic ideas set against the harsh world of everyday economics in bleak London. Robin Williams is excellent as the professor, a rebel without a cause except rebellion for its own sake. And Phillip Glass's soundtrack is perfect, a haunting cello. I watched this before reading Michael Mello's THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA VERSUS THEODORE JOHN KACZYNSKI: ETHICS, POWER, AND THE INVENTION OF THE UNABOMBER. Powerful stuff!
The movie is bleak, it is Joseph Conrad! July 7, 2000

The novel itself is a good play. If you have read the novel, you will find this movie a true and great visualization of it. The acting is exceptional, especially Christian Bale, Robin Williams and Bob Hoskins who plays the fat, fake anarchist. Although I think the director and actors have done a great job, there are a lot of thoughts and political backgrounds of the characters very difficult to grasp for those who have not read the novel. You might want to watch the movie the second time to really appreciate it.
excellent; very dark, intense drama, by all means see this! July 7, 1999

This is an amazing film and is so very well written. It is marvelously directed by Bob Hoskins who is also wonderful as one of the leads. It is very sensitive and extremely dark. Robin Williams, unbilled, is truly the centerpiece of the whole story. This is a must see for Bob Hoskin's and Robin William's fans. This piece is very different from what the public usually expects from these talented actors.
