8MM
Respected but still waiting for a big break that will improve his professional status, Welles spends most of his time on routine cases involving unfaithful spouses and the like. But some 8mm footage of a young girl being sexually abused and slaughtered stirs his life as he decide to investigate the case...

Walker at least has a solid premise here. Too bad the script didn't find its way to another David Fincher who could understand it.

Poorly developed, 8mm is anything but a pretty picture.

It's pretty sad that a big star/big budget film about a gritty piece of life that should powerfully effect the viewer at the gut level fails so miserably.

Sets a new record for gross stupidity.

Director Joel Schumacher aims for a psychological depth that the script can't sustain.
