Ratings and reviews

Really good movie, the acting is superb, Nicholas Cage gives one of his best performances ever. The subject matter is especially brutal & the characters are some of the most despicable you could find - despite that it's a lot less sordid than I imagined. And there's nothing wrong with the aspect ratio, the film's called 8mm and has been made to resemble the look & feel of an 8mm camera. Highly recommended but just be warned the subject matter might be too much to handle.

Butchered aspect ratio.. cropped at the sides and zoomed in to fill screen
