Strangely intoxicating
To start with, any movie in which Helena Bonham Carter gets naked is a good thing.This is a weird weird movie, but good pacing and casting saves it. A more disciplined director could have turned it into a cult classic.
Steve Martin is convincing in a challenging part. He is a fine actor.He brings just enough comedy so the movie doesn’t descend into the land that light forgot. This edge gives the film strange believability.
Laura Dern is also exquisite walking a fine line to achieve a balance between farce and drama. Her character, blondness and ‘hard body’ look contrasted effectively with HBC’s petite, auburn wickedness.
At the end, I wanted to watch it again to appreciate the fine points I missed the first time through.
I would describe it as a darker ” The Whole Nine Yards”.
Simple, fun and easy-to-watch.
A very, very fun little film. It’s got a pretty simple noir story but it executes it so flawlessly. It’s pretty quick paced, so you never lose interest, but it isn’t quick enough to where it loses the audience. I’ve always enjoyed Steve Martin’s comedic talents, but it was great to see him in a much more mellow role. Helena Bonham Carter was absolutely amazing, as always. It’s pretty hard to make me fall in love with a drug addict, but she did exactly that. Easily the most, well only, adorable drug addict I’ve ever seen. Laura Dern is, of course, also great. In what I’ve come to expect from her, she becomes so immersed into her character that you don’t even realize she’s acting. Elias Koteas was very good as well. I also really loved the twist. It had a great, mysterious build up to it throughout the film, and was completely unpredictable. One of the rare times that I was genuinely shocked by a twist in a mystery. But, for some odd reason, they felt the need to completely spoon-feed you how everything happened…about 15 minutes after you know everything that happened. My only other complaint were the very gimmicky x-ray shots used throughout. They felt extremely unnecessary and really drew me out of the film. Other than those two things though, I really loved it. Just remarkably fun and easy to watch.
