THOUGHTS AN BEST BITS
This was a late night spot on Netflix seen old Pretty Womans face role up and thought an did my Skeksis hmmmmmmmm and stuck it on. We start off with the usual character build up hes making deals showing us hes super rich and showing the flash house private jets and his old rich ass wife played by Thelma & Louise Susan Surandon bit part here but shes playing the wife and its kinda got a Meet Joe Black (1998) vibe hes the Hopkins of this film only no Tyler Durden so its just Gere and hes smrt playing Gere as per and hes shady as fuck we get right into an affair with some French chick and its got also a sort of Mr Brooks (2007) feel hes almost creepy and sleazy said that in my Arnie voice and yeh hes sleazy and clearly up to shit and then you find out hes trying to sell his company and hes shitting himself his company is lossing money and hes got a loan from some rich buddy whos putting cash back into the company funds to pretend hes got money while trying to sell and dump that shity company and go. Of course he runs into the typical problem his cunty daughter is in charge of some shit and is sniffing around with her posh little face and shes starting to spot cash problems all this means fuck all cause after hes driving home from his french affair his car flips like the fucking A Team and does 75 flips and as it lands you hear ahhh haha never heard anyone ever in a movie scream out at the end of a flip never mind multiple it was so funny and then well it all kicks off and gets worse not as in bad as in shit gets fucked for him fast.
This time the directings not bad but it does lack a feel i mean hes commiting fraud in the movie yet it Gere so im ulling for him but then we got old Roth after him and the film plays out like hes a criminal yet he commited no crime really the films lacks maybe drive like focus on what it wants to be as we follow Gere on his adventur over the course of what feels like a week or less and you got it the director made one documentary and then a short and thats it then 3 years later gets to direct this its like whos sucking who off for the directing roles cause fuck me pay me some cash to direct and make a movie i could be tempted to suck a dong maybe a small asian one haha.
Cast well its old Gere lets go mayonnaise haha hes awesome Tim Roth solid and hes great in this role a bunch of randoms but they are really good not a weak link really in the bunch sure some cunt roles but no bad acting here at all it kinda felt low budget indy small cast not in a bad way just like more like a play and good script for the cast to work with and enjoy.
Fun flick enjoyed the hunt of it as thing unfold it just felt a little flat by the end good flick its a late night date movie maybe one she could watch and enjoy and say that was alright an then back to watching what ever i can see whay it was lost in the madness of movies in 2012 and just block buster after block buster with the likes of marvel movies and this just gets drowned at the cinema but worth a watch.
