Reviews
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Nick Damian What could have been and should have been is not what is.What is - is not what you expect and what you expect is not what is.The last few minutes of this movie are just stupid.Watch for the train scene...If the cops were bad from the beginning, then it would all make sense......but I suspect it was rewritten several times and cut so much that the script was just stupid at the end.and on another note...why do the single/divorced /widowed police always have to fall in love with the stripper/prostitute/witness? It's a bullshi t way to write a script that was written in the eras of the 1940's and 50's and should be done with.
robellis1945 SPOILER I thought the movie was very entertaining throughout. Especially riveting were scenes wherein Berenger's character, Det. Macy, seemed to exhibit human fallibilities that made me like him even more...taking the "scared girl" into his own apartment because she was afraid to go to a hotel nearby. Going against his better judgement and possibly throwing a curve ball into the investigation of the missing girl whose had was found attached to the boat in the pond, he went ahead and showed some real humanity by taking her it. The real surprise came at the end, not that the girl was involved...I had figured that all along...but that his co-workers had set him up to take the fall for the entire escapade. And his use of the "mud in the barrel" of his gun, when it came, was not all that surprising, since he had seen a victim of a similar situation in the morgue not too many days before. All in all, a very satisfying piece of art. I like Tom Berenger, anyway, and I think this, though not one of his best efforts, was a good way to spend a couple of hours.
FilmGuy86 The movie has a very dark feel about it. In each progressive scene the director takes the viewer deeper and deeper into the abyss of inner city corruption. The dreary mood of the film serves as an excellent backdrop for the mature subject matter being presented. The main character played by Tom Berenger, does a great job of portraying a man who is on the brink of losing it all, and sets the stage for his apparent liability. Although some of the scenes are predictable, the film does a good job of keeping you guessing as to what's coming next. Overall I found this to be an enjoyable, and entertaining film, well worth the price of a rental for an evening.
mtangaa Berenger is good, the rest of the cast are adequate. The story is very predictable and somewhat incoherent. A pretty explicit s/m scene is included to spice things up a bit, but it seems out of place. Not recommended viewing, but if you have nothing better to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon, then ...
