Fake

S1m0ne (2002)

Andrew Niccol directs Al Pacino in his second film as a director and the third film he wrote. Tired of working with actors that have silly demands a director uses a digitally created actress that everyone else thinks is a real person.

Compared with Niccol's excellent previous films this effort does come up short but only by the high standards previously set. The characters are not especially engaging, Pacino as the director who ends up hating his creation seems very hard to relate to in what should have been an interesting part. While the film is weak it is not really bad and tells a fairly good story that is well enough made.

3/5 not bad but not worth seeking out either.
