...film is best when it doesn't have to worry about establishing convincing characters and it can concentrate on basketball. The conclusion consists of non-stop basketball action--slam dunks, slo-mo, the whole shebang--all to a thumpin' hip-hop soundtrack. The film achieves its ultimate triumph with not one, but THREE twists which include two last minute jumpshots and three slow-motion shootings...
...pummels your eye with wide-screen close-ups that eroticize violence and give a lurid threat to the sex. The love scene is a French- kissin', torso-lickin' jeans ad set to cinema. In the big shoot-out at the end, bloody cushion feathers smother the screen in slo...
...movie gives not a clue. Jack Nicholson looks eerily like his subject, and he has the abrupt gestures and staccato voice of a man who overcomes lack of eloquence by force of will.

Julie Salamon, film critic of the Wall Street Journal, got to watch the accident in slo-mo close-up. In The Devil's Candy: The Bonfire of the Vanities Goes to Hollywood (Houghton Mifflin; $24.95), she tracks all the bollixed decisions that made the bosses at Warner Bros. wonder why they green-lighted Bonfire and vetoed Home Alone, and director Brian De Palma feel like an Iraqi army general. "He couldn't imagine," Salamon writes, "what it would be like to go through all this for a bad movie...
