Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Kelly Poisoncupcake This movie wasn't wonderful, but it wasn't THAT bad either. I noticed some goofs aka film flubs (after the guy with the bat hits the headlights on the car out with the bat, the car is then shown going down the road with headlights in tact) but tons of movies contain those. There were a lot of things in the movie which made little sense and some points had no consistency or follow thru (and the part about what her father was making her do..such a strong powerful point..no follow thru!!!... now before, I have left the theater..I have fast forwarded or turned off movies for being really stupid..but this movie was entertaining to me,...entertaining enough to where I didn't feel I had to or wanted to turn it off. BTW, Wilson Cruz is superb in anything that he is in...I think he is one of the most underrated and best actors around. I still recommend this movie if your bored and want to watch something that is entertaining...
lastliberal This isn't award material. The dialog is pretty bad, and the story really doesn't go as far as it could have.It is, however, a chance to see Tobey Maguire before he fell in love with Mary Jane. Here, he is all ga ga over Tanya (Amy Hathaway - "My Two Dads"), who is the first woman to show him her body.You also get to see a young Benicio Del Toro, who played a detective trying to solve a murder.I would have liked to see the character played by Christina Zilber beefed up. She was a hit-woman whose car they stole for a joyride.Adam West, who was "Batman" in the 60s, played a pervy father that pimped out Tanya for blackmail.Worth a watch for historical value.
jangehr Tobey Maguire had to start somewhere before becoming Spiderman. His acting is quite good even if his aimless and clueless character makes no sense. Here's the plot: a motel owner's son hooks up with a hooker tenant, hangs out with his gay buddy (who seems to have a crush on him) and steals a car from an icy villainess assassin. Then a lot of other plot points occur that have nothing to do with each other. The first half is OK but then quickly disintegrates into this tangled non-sensical mess. Wilson Cruz does his best as Tobey's gay friend but his acting is too good for the amateurish script. Adam West as a father who pimps his daughter is an interesting stunt cast but who cares by the end. I bought the DVD for five bucks and paid about $4.79 too much.
pdsca21 The only reason to watch this movie is to see just how awful it is and how far Tobey Maguire and Benico Del Toro have come as actors. The script and dialoge are awful, and appear to be written by high school level talent. The premise is absurd and loaded with ridiculous sub plots to further waste viewers time. In short, three just out of high school kids tango with death so they can keep a car. Adam West is good for a laugh as some sort of pimp/daddy business man. If you're a collector of some sort and want this film, the good news is you should be able to get it for about three bucks at any Target or WalMart style store. However, I certainly don't bother messing with this one.
