Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This thoroughly unpleasant thriller from the hands of Joel Schumacher (Batman and Robin) offers very little in its lurid tour of snuff films and the seedy pornographic underworld. A wooden Nicolas Cage stars as a private detective hired by a tycoon's widow, who discovers in her dead husband's safe some 8mm footage of a young girl being sexually abused and slaughtered. Cage's job is to determine the veracity of the film and to find out the girl's identity, whether she be alive or dead. What could have been a taut, nerve-jangling thriller is instead a lumbering, overwrought but underwritten tale of vigilante justice. Screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker also penned the imaginative and compelling Seven, but you wouldn't know it from this tired and monotonous script. Schumacher tries for echoes of both The Silence of the Lambs and Paul Schrader's Hardcore (which stars George C. Scott as a father trying to find his daughter in the seedy porn industry), but despite some slick camerawork, the film fails to draw the audience into either the mystery of the missing girl or Cage's supposed internal conflicts. It's not so much the unsavory subject matter as it is the sloppy and unimaginative filmmaking that makes the movie unbearable. Of the entire cast only Joaquin Phoenix, as a charismatic goth boy who works at an adult book store, comes away with a memorable performance. --Mark Englehart

I am certainly NOT a Nicolas Cage fanatic, and I've never liked much of Joel Schumacher's work (especially his ultra-silly Batman sequels). However, I did find 8MM to be interesting as well as somewhat disturbing. Cage, as private investigator Tom Welles, must plumb the depths of human depravity and degradation in order to uncover the truth behind a snuff film. Though goofy in spots, I was pleased by most of the dialogue and action. Joaquine Phoenix is excellent as porn-shop worker, Max California. ... Read More

Cage and Schumacher examine in horrifying and brilliant detail what motivates people to do or become evil, what overcomes evil, and what evil does to the good, the naïve, and the ill-prepared. Yes, it could have been a little less ponderous and a little more compact, but that hardly is a blemish in this movie. If you're looking for cartoonish, stylized morality plays, go see a movie like "Fatal Attraction," cuz this ain't it. This movie has a theme more in common with "Rope" and a sick, moody grittiness ... Read More

As always, I think in my own personal opinion that Nicholas Cage is an awesome actor. People may disagree, but that is why this is the Great USA...everyone is allowed to have an opinion.
As for the movie, when I first watched it, it wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. It was dark, and dealt with very sensitive subjects. I really liked it, all the same, and I would recommend this movie to anyone who has a strong stomach.

One of the criticisms leveled against the film industry today is that its movies are full of immorality. Comedic films are full of crude sexual references and unnecessary nudity. Films that may well have a great moral to them, such as the Wedding Crashers, which leaves Owen Wilson happier having found everlasting love with a wonderful woman, rather than continuing his life of meaningless and unfulfilling sexual encounters, are marred by the use of sexual humor and nudity.
8MM, like many films ... Read More

I have never nor ever will I be a fan of Nicholas Cage. That aside, `8MM' is a film that I can get behind. It's dark, disturbing and intriguing despite the fact that Cage couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. His lack of emotional range disgust me, but regardless, `8MM' is a worthwhile cinematic experience. The subject matter is far from light fare. It delves into the perverse and downright despicable and hits a nerve with its audience. There are scenes within `8MM' where my gut is in knots, my heart racing ... Read More
