Reviews
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Tonci Pivac Big City Blues was one of those films that was Just to hard to follow.I thought the quality of the movie was shocking, it was always to dark, so dark That I could hardly see what the hell was going on half the time.The only good thing going for this film was Burt Reynolds, Without him the movie would have been so much more worse.Oh and yes William Forsythe was also fantastic.This is a movie that wonders off in all different directions. Do your self a big favor and stay the hell away from this film, Unless your like me and are a super Burt Reynolds fan and will watch movies that are so incredibly bad just because Mr. Reynolds is in it.
cliverose This is a movie for anyone bored with mainstream, Hollywood fare. It is a well acted black comedy that follows three groups of people over one night. Burt Reynolds and William Forsythe are excellent in the principal roles, though good performances can be seen throughout the film. Overall, highly recommended.
Ordell-5 When I saw the cast of an interesting sound of title I thought it's gonna worth, but the film got a one Big-Blues –Problem ... a director. Usually when story is written and directed by one person, film is going to be good, but in this particular example, this law doesn't work. I mean this could be a good film, well but it wasn't ... Big City Blues got some funny scenes, good (as usually) acting by Giancarlo Esposito, and nothing more.
DrDick This film describes the experiences of a couple of hit men (one of them Burt Reynolds), a prostitute, and two drag queens over the interval of a few hours on one night in Miami. The convergent storylines eventually bring all the people together at one place and time. The movie was mildly entertaining, but the big problem was that everything happens at night and many scenes were literally under-exposed to the point that it was impossible to see what was happening. In a few scenes you can actually see where they tried to "stretch" the developing process to save the images. Somebody didn't know how to operate a movie camera. Amazing that this film was even released!
