Widziana oczami młodego mężczyzny o niewinnym dziecięcym umyśle, nieświadomym realnego świata i otwartym na wszystko. Świat spokojnej egzystencji życiowych rozbitków staje się miejscem zbrodni.

The three stars I'm giving this are less of a rationalization and more of an rating of "satisfactory". Wim Wenders creates an atmosphere through captivating monologues and great camera work, while Mel Gibson and Jeremy Davies give their characters an incredible liveliness. However, the total disappointment for the viewer is the screenplay. Instead of a psychologically tuned game or at least a genre-unidentified combination, it simply jumps from place to place and indulges in peculiar characters. And I consider it a great sin that the much-promoted accompaniment by U2 is not used to its full potential, as it only faintly murmurs in the background, except for the opening and closing credits.

Psychedelic nonsense. Boring, unintentionally ridiculous in places. And I still think U2 is the best rock-pop band of all time.

An excellent blend of the gloomy setting of the old hotel and its dejected inhabitants with great performances and a pleasant musical score. It all sounds very nice, but overall the film's plot simply failed to draw me in enough to stare at the screen with my mouth open. The potential was certainly great, but it wasn't quite tapped. Another criticism would be the longer running time. All in all, a film that stays slightly above average, thanks mainly to Jeremy Davies, Milla Jovovich and Gloria Stuart, but there are plenty of much deeper drama-thrillers that deserve a higher rating compared to it.
