Reviews
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
ardie_too-1 Uncovered isn't Citizen Kane. It's a light mystery involving a painting that's being restored. The cast was more than up to the job, but for all but one of them the performances were average.Other than the city of Barcelona, the single stand-out member of the cast is Peter Wingfield playing the rough, small-time, self absorbed and slightly oily gigolo, Max LaPena. He pulls this role off to perfection. He's young, gorgeous, not as smooth or as smart as he thinks he is and although he's a total brat, there's a desperate vulnerability to Max that would be very attractive to many women. Max LaPena is a street kid who's parlayed his face and body into a marriage with the greedy, controlling, grand-daughter, and sole heir of the aristocratic Spanish family that owns the mysterious painting. Max, as do others in this film, has his own dreams regarding the painting and isn't above using his assets to make those dreams come true. He's wonderfully amoral and by far the most interesting character in Uncovered. In this mildly entertaining film it's the scenes of beautiful Barcelona and an equally handsome and very talented Peter Wingfield that make it worth the rental fee or purchase price.
rogeriop_silva The book LA TABLA DE FLANDES becomes UNCOUVERED in the movies. It is common said that books are ever better than the films that came from it, but in this case it's a complement on the film. I've read the book and seen the film and they couldn't be more far apart. This book with a good adaptation to the cinema would make a great thriller, with various points of historical interest. Even though 'The 9th Gate' was not the right adaptation from the 'El club Dumas', from the same author, Arturo Pérez-Reverte, it is a good film, making the fans of a good thriller eager for a much better work in what concerns 'LA TABLA DE FlANDES', stating yet that it's very easy not to drift from the book, while make a new movie...
cutedoggie I felt this was a nice flick,a very different concept from what i've seen so far,of thriller movies.And the mood of the movie in spite of it being a thriller,was very light which made it all the more enjoyable with funny scenes aplenty in between.and the most surprising thing was that Kate Beckinsale kind of looks nice even with the ultra short hair,very unexpected i should say.Nice performance by Kate Beckinsale,and the rest of the crew.Two of the nude scenes could've been done away with and one in particular,where she stares at the picture naked.There was really no need for that i felt. But it was that casual theme of the movie that you wouldn't really say it doesn't fit in.Thats about it,overall an enjoyable movie.
Andres Salama A truly bad movie, from a generally good director like Jim McBride (I loved "Great Balls of Fire"). Based on a novel from Perez Reverte, this film is dull and uninteresting, and the only thing you can recommend from it is a nude scene from Kate Beckinsale (48 minutes after the start, so press your fast forward button in your video).
