PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Kenney Madsen The movie is really slow paced to start of with, and is generally not very interesting. Sure it picks up towards the end. Sadly that's not much excitement either and the measures seems to outweigh the goal. Two story lines in the movie, runs parallel until they crosses paths towards the end. Sadly I think the bad acting were shining through the most towards the end. D. Murray, acting as "Simeon" might be the only one with decently portraying his character.I paused the movie twice while watching, getting a break and doing other things. To then resume watching later. Thats usually not a good sign. I felt the acting were below average, and worst at the end. The plot seemed quite unlikely to me and the slow pace, for the first hour made it hard to do in one sitting.
mtidwel3 What a flat, boring, unnecessarily drawn-out storyline, complete with equally as baneful acting. Every concept surrounding the characters and the storyline is typical "dark" cliché, and very poorly done at that. Oh, it has its share of typical, exhausted characters: the demented religious zealot, the femme fatale, so on and so on...they are all essentially dull and static. Dominique Swain is totally obnoxious as Kelly, and leaves one wishing that she was the subject of the murder plot. Pierre is hands-down the most boring character in the entire film; he serves as little more than someone to stand there and wait for action in the storyline to come to him. And that clown? I won't even go there. So "there's no happy ending." Yawn. Big deal. What an original concept. It's only been done a thousand times before, and by far better actors and directors. About the only thing this film is good for is curing insomnia. Utterly atrocious.
pritalnyc The story takes place after the tourist season in a small town near the ocean. They have a saying in this town, "We all go a little crazy in the off season." And thats exactly what they do.There are 6 main characters in this movie. Each one has their own angle and is looking out for number one. Deception, manipulation and greed are what drives the characters. The movie is about human nature and the way people react (good or bad) in the heat of the moment. Remember, "If you stay still you're dead." The style in which this is shot and the colors in this movie are awesome. There is a lot of texture and attention to detail. All of this adds to that noir feel. The characters are portrayed very well and the acting is superb. Its amazing how real they are. A real honest look at the dark side. Ten stars. If you like mystery/thrillers about con men, burglars, drifters and life on the run, then you owe it to yourself to see this movie.
dilbertsuperman Pierre wants to be a thief- Dennis Hopper takes him under his wing with the backdrop of an out of season amusement park as their home base. There are a few moments that are OK but for the most part the acting is flat and the story very dull. This is a movie that is severely lacking in a lot of elements and it will leave you wanting the time you spent watching it back. Dennis Hopper plays a better role than usual, but that's only because his usual level of acting lately is so poor. So when he plays an average role it seems like a big deal these days. Bottom line, miss this movie it is dumb and flat. The most appealing thing in this film is the villain, who I wound up rooting for because I was sick of the dumb characters.
