"Oliver Stone directed it. Enough reason to skip it."
- Stone's movies always have the same flaw; they're really not about what they say they're about. There's always a message.
It also doesn't help my opinion of him that two years ago I saw a documentary expose on the middle aged men in the fashion industry who preyed on the newly discovered, "super models". One of their techniques was to isolate these 14 to 16 year old girls in hotels far from their homes and parents on the pretext that they were being assessed for big time modeling contracts. While there, they were treated to flattery and drugs or alcohol in the hopes that fashion "executives" could then seduce them.
Stone was shown as one of the hangers on who frequented the bars in these hotels where he hoped to score on the girls who were steered his way by other insiders. He is a degenerate.

Whoa, that's nasty. My regard for Stone has dropped even further (if that' possible).
