It got 22% on Rotten Tomatoes, mostly due to its “lurid and excessive violence.” It was released one year before CSI completely changed our tolerance for gore and explicit violence. 8mm wouldn’t even be in the top 10 most brutal episodes of CSI. It was ahead of its time.
@@skopp888 I watched it again. It was a long time since I'd seen it. Even darker than I remembered. But phenomenal. Joaquin always disappears into his characters.
This movie deserves more acclaim. Even if Nicolas Cage, as an actor, bothers you just rest assured he is good in this. The creepiest "mainstream" film I've ever seen.
This movie is proof that Joel Schumacker (or however the hell you spell it) was capable of doing a dark and gritty Batman movie, but the studio had other ideas.
@@myisaku7999 joel schumacker also made falling down. The only thing that should surprise you is that he made batman and robin. That's the only surprising thing about him. But you don't know much about him apparently so please be quite.
“However the hell you spell it” Schumacher isn’t that hard to spell my dude. And like previously said, Batman And Robin is an anomaly in his catalogue, not the other way around.
that what makes his words work as once Tom enter the darker world it was clear he was never ready to enter it as sometimes entering someone world can be dangerous and lead to repercussions
Never really gave the whole "porn" industry much thought until I saw this movie. Now.i wonder just how much of this industry is actually legit, vs the underground part of the business.
I think its very organized now days. The actual industry at least. The actors have to get medical checks frequently. But nothing is stopping you from uploaded your own stuff on pornhub. And the cam girl industry is very popular too. I knew a couple from high school sho used to stream together when they were in their early 20s and they did it all and made money through the sight all they had to do was verify ID. But ya who knows how many cam girls are really just prostitutes in Eastern Europe or sex slaves Etc
There are many types of 'porn', ranging from soft-core that only shows basic nudity to the more perverse 'fetish'-based stuff. There is some stuff that is 'out there' that it cant even legally be sold in some countries. However, the whole 'snuff porn' narrative is basically an urban legend.
@Red Divinity actually it waa the "Loving Jesus cult" where they were told to imagine having sex with Jesus when they have sex or masturbatw. If they were Male they were told to pretend they were a woman.
idk why this movie is rated so low . . one of my favorite movies , had a major crush on joaquin phoenix when younger this was the first movie ive seen with him raaaawr x)
A fine film on a difficult and controversial subject and a painful reminder of the dark sickness that lies not far beneath the surface. I don't understand the negative reviews I've seen. Well made, well played. It leaves a lasting impression.
I keep thinking it's tattoos. Which I think was meant to be the style. That sorta faux tattoo mesh style shirt. Late 90s-early 2000s fashion was wack lol. Good thing hes so handsome 🤣
what 'law' is being broken there, tho? It's actually one of the least objectionable actions shown in this movie, considering what else is going on. lol
It's an excellent movie. And the ending shows how horrible people are but there are some incredibly touching moments. I'm a lawyer that deals with traumatized victims and so often no one cares if they live or die or who is punished for how they suffered and in all the filth in this movie, there's humanity.

This film is absolutely underrated one of the best thrillers.
It really is amazing, really suspenseful and first-rate acting. Great story.

ya, back when Nic Cage used to actually make good movies.
Sigh, the good ol days
It seriously is
I hate that max dies
Lmao seeing Joaquin Phoenix dressed this way is a true blessing
HEAVEN SENT
Yummy..... 🤪😍😍😍🥰
🤤🤤🤤
I think he's pregnant!
@@1091Floyd21 You should see "Irrational Man". ;)
One of the most underrated and overlooked films.
If you have not seen it I highly recommend it but be warned some scenes are difficult to watch.
Not a film I would watch again. It has a deeply unsettling, upsetting feel to it

I actually saw a good movie with him the other day. The wicker man.
@Tae is bae Haha, that movie was awful.
Cage is a great actor, he just seemingly says yes to every role. I think he just genuinely enjoys acting (and money lol)
Joaquin Phoenix 90s roles are so awsome
JP in this movie and "Gladiator"--Most gorgeous creature ever. I couldn't even hate him in Gladiator because he was so beautiful
You and me both!!!😉😁

“Dont call me Pops”....spends the rest of the movie calling him Pops 😂
Absolutely underrated film. So glad they made a blu Ray conversion.
Can't believe Joker was in this movie! and this is one of Joel Schumacher's best.
And don’t forget Castor Troy
This is so late 90s it hurts.
You dance with the devil, the devil don’t Change, Devil changes you ...
and then he become the Joker!

joaquin phoenix can ruin my life
val problem is he doesn’t look like that anymore.
@@TaylorKnightCosplay he still looks good I'd STILL let him ruin my life
@@TaylorKnightCosplay many like him beyond JUST what he looks like. I still think hes really handsome though too 🤷♀️💁♀️

Lyric Alizabeth yeah I know, he’s so fucking hot!
Joaquin Phoenix is the highlight in the nightmare of this film. I absolutely love his character.
Academy Award Winner Joaquin Phoenix dressed like that. This made my day
Joaquin is straight up gorgeous in this one
Ghost Rider vs Joker!!
Everybody wants to see this happen
More like the artist formally known as Ghost Rider.
One of the best thrillers ever made.
I love that gritty 90s Socal back lots
idk why this movie is rated so low . . one of my favorite movies , had a major crush on joaquin phoenix when younger this was the first movie ive seen with him raaaawr x)
This movie is great and what a cast, Cage, Phoenix, Gandolfini, Reedus, Stormare, they dont make movies like in the 90s anymore
JOAQUIN HAS AMAZING EYES THAT EYE MAKEUP MAKE HIM EVEN MORE SEXY AS HELL❤️
Joaquin Phoenix is an incredibly adaptable actor

I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE IN A MOVIE WITH JOAQUIN HE OUT ACTS THE OTHER ACTORS SO TALENTED I’M NOT JUST SAYING THAT HE TRULY IS A GOD GIVEN TALENT ❤️
tiffany curtis I would be willing to take the risk.
Joaquín looks like Wolverine xD
The shaft impression is comedy gold
Hahahah lmao first of all what the hell is joaquin wearing??!😂😂
I keep thinking it's tattoos. Which I think was meant to be the style. That sorta faux tattoo mesh style shirt. Late 90s-early 2000s fashion was wack lol. Good thing hes so handsome 🤣
It’s a hot look
my favorite part in the movie was when he said whatcha reading as if theres anything in that book worth highlighting
It seemed to be a joke, in that the clerk had to 'hide' what he was really reading. It was a bit forced, but still effective.
Love that Wolverine 'do! (:
Joaquin with this style 🛐
“Oh yeah, came back for the battery operated vagina after all”💀💀💀 off the cuff
The smoking behind the porno-video store in broad daylight scene. Joel Schumacher had to dig deep for this one.
Factssss such a great movie
what 'law' is being broken there, tho? It's actually one of the least objectionable actions shown in this movie, considering what else is going on. lol
90s classics.
You can actually see the mic in the upper side left of the screen at the beggining of the video.. Lol!! AMAZIN movie btw
What a cast, Gandolfini, Cage, Phoenix...
Oh yeah and a young Joker.
This movie remind of video game manhunt.
Manhunt was inspired by this movie 😈
@@thaistomp by the way manhunt is my favorite game. I wish they make sequel.

He looks extremly different from how he looks in the Joker
He had too much swag in this movie 😎
He's really young in this movie
Well this was 20
Years before the joker so yes he aged
"I'm straight" says the man wearing leather pants, a crop top, a choker and eye shadow
Believe it or not there ARE straight men who dress like that and wear eye liner. Clothing has nothing to do with sexual preference.
Ah yes, the deep irony... 😛
I don't like Nicholas cage but he wasn't bad in this. The others acted circles around him. However he maintains good facial expressions.
Couldn't even recognise that it was Joaquin Phoenix.
That's why he's incredible
AM I NOT MERCIFUL!!!!!
I'm not a super hero I just live by my gut and my gut stands for the justice
It's a good movie gritty and grimy
+ « The Killing Look !!! » 100% X3
He was in the movie space camp and didn't have a scar. Where did it come from?
sugar. I wanna be in a movie with Joaquin
I wanna see Max and Lisbeth Salander together😂
commodus in da house
Always knew Joker was a huge porn addict lol, btw amazing thriller/noir movie with a great cast
1:25 So funny
I have a feeling this is one of those films that's starts great, but gets worse as the mystery's revealed.
