How great can a film be when the screenplay is completely lacking in credibility and coherency, is backed with a flawed, uninspiring and decadent symbolism, and tries to compensate for these deficiencies with violent hi-tech images of war and destruction?

The film is interesting in what it accidentally reveals of the inner life according to Hollywood and United States culture.
