ThiefHott Too much of everything

Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Vomitron_G Lucifer has come out of hiding and steps up to make the world remember. Science has become the Evil of Men, and Beëlzebub cannot allow it. When He returns, the cripple shall walk, leading the innocents to their death. Thou shall behold He Who Has Returned in the form of Jeff Goldblum and His mysterious ways. He who is everywhere, in the minds of others, in the flesh of none. He who loves to cook, but shall not be seen eating. Slayer of adults, children, women and men. Serial killer turned mental patient revealed as the Devil himself. No man of faith shall challenge him, but a woman of reason. Thy eyes shall shine the Cross, when His influence beckons thee.I was thoroughly amused by this movie. It utters profound monologues, insufferable dialogues and occasional lines of pointed finesse. An inappropriate musical score pushes it more towards the danger-zone of silliness. A romantic entanglement between a psychiatrist turned believer and a detective turned saint cringes the unfolding plot painfully. But there are several things quite in place in this movie, and Vincent Schiavelli's cameo is one of them... or not one of them. All possible redeeming qualities aside, in the end MR. FROST is saved by a gracious sense of devilry provided by Jeff Goldblum. He is stronger than passing time. No matter what the outcome, Evil prevails. Or at least, doubt remains.MR. FROST is a France/UK co-production from 1990 and it somehow looks and feels like... a France/UK co-production from 1990. All this I previously wrote is true and present during 104 minutes, but a veil of minimalistic artiness might shield one's eye from it. A rather weird film, out of the ordinary, unique even, slightly unsettling, but (unintended) too light-hearted for its own good, that it is.

Jeff Gaines *************WARNING! This is more a perception of the film as a whole from my point of view and NOT so much a review (in the classic sense)! It could spoil the film for you. If you haven't seen it, then I HIGHLY recommend watching this fantastic movie and THEN reading this piece. ENJOY! ***************************************************************I won't re-hash all the things in the other reviews about acting and characters, most are right on the money. But I was astounded that no one else got what I got from this incredible film! To me, it was a character study in being the "Devil" in this day and age. Jeff Goldblum plays this role to the max as stated in all the other reviews ...BUT ...What I got was that his character felt like people had become so wicked that they had FORGOTTEN that evil was "his" and that people didn't believe in him anymore. What I saw his character doing was that he was on a mission: His mission wasn't to just get the world to believe again, it was to QUIT BEING THE DEVIL! He doesn't want the job anymore. He's "tired". (He wants to cook, for crying out loud!) Listen to his dialog CLOSELY. (Especially in the kitchen as he meets the Detective and when he first begins to speak to the unsuspecting lady Doctor) To find a suitable replacement, he comes to earth as a mortal and he has to find someone who believes that he is, in fact, the Devil; and THAT soul would take over his position. He, as the Devil would do, uses trickery and deception to lull the good Doctor into becoming a candidate. He wants to know that she can commit the ultimate evil and kill another person ... namely HIM! That will prove she is a worthy candidate and release him from his duties.In the end of the film, when she shoots him, you see the crosses of light that had shown in his eyes, suddenly appear in the Doctors eyes as she repeats his words ... "Stronger than passing time" .... it sounds like his and her voices together. The words become an oath, of sorts, and so it appears in the end of the film that SHE has taken his duties and he can now "retire" or whatever it is that Satan would do if he left his "position"! It's a very deep screenplay/storyline and if you get up to go the the bathroom or get a drink, you could easily be lost or miss an important part. Also, the sound recording is the most dynamic I've ever heard in a film. Some moments are so soft you must ride the volume up to hear them speak and some are so pressured, that you must ride the volume down from the yelling or Foley effects. Again, if you don't, you may miss or overlook an important bit.Definitely one of my favorite screenplays and films of all time! To truly "get it": Watch it alone, remote in hand, on a rainy afternoon ... TWICE! Pause it, if you get up. You WILL NOT regret it. For once you have "gotten it", I promise this will become a favorite of yours as well.

evilstalkerhorne1 Jeff Goldblum is VERY SCARY in this role!! He is not his usually dork self (ie. Jurrassic Park and many others of this sort). He plays with confidence and shows just how intelligent he actually is. He is disturbingly frightful as he unfolds the reasons for his being there and also makes you want to see more. I had my doubts years ago when I saw this show. It did not help when I saw that it was a made for cable movie. Low and behold though it was REALLY REALLY REALLY good and they never played it again. Even the ending was great (and I cannot say that for many pictures I have seen). There was a definite beginning and ending with an interesting in-between. I rate this 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had a copy. I cannot find anywhere that rents it. Feel free to email me if you want. Really, YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS MOVIE! On another subject of interest due to movies less seen....... I also saw a wild show once on late-night cable and cannot recall the name of it. It was about this dude who goes to Australia to get away from some people trying to kill him. He gets there and this HOT blonde starts jumping him. Then she smacks him over the head and he is trapped in her fathers village in the outback on a nuclear testing site and is forced to marry her. They destroy his van and somehow mix in a giant Kangaroo in the plot. I have looked but in vain for what this was called. If anyone knows PLEASE write me!!!! There is the line she asks him about "Parting the Beef Curtains one more time" right before she hits him. Funny as hell!!

daartist I thought it was a good movie for the simple fact that it had Jeff Goldblum as the lead with the spotlight on him being sexy. The plot was not all that interesting, but the characters were.The whole movie seemed to be Jeff Goldblum saying "Look at me, I'm so hot and dangerous." Works for me.
