Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
adonis98-743-186503 After a workaholic banker journeys to Monaco to investigate the suspicious activities of a company, he finds himself framed for murder and running for his life. Quicksand is an entertaining action thriller starring Michael Keaton and Michael Caine. Now that isn't what i would have hoped seeing Batman and Alfred star in but it's not as bad as i heard either. Keaton gives a great performance as usual and Caine ain't that bad either, Judith Godrèche is also good in the supporting role as for the rest of the Cast? Some were very good in their roles for example Xander Berkeley and some others such as Serbedzija were a bit disappointing in their roles. Also certain jokes that are in the film or situations for example the ending could have been better and with a bit more action or suspense. The film is a mix of The Fugitive meets Taken (long before even Taken was released), there's some good performances mostly from Keaton and some good suspense and as much as some things could have been better the movie wasn't awful and it's an overall decent flick. (7.3/10)
rightwingisevil keaton did a very unconvincing and heartless performance in this absolutely rubbish movie. his wrinkled face didn't show any emotion during the whole set. he's acting was so unbelievably bad and almost looked like out of place in every scene of this movie. the screenplay was extremely bad too. every twist of the plot was awkward and contrite. an accounting inspector from new york to investigate the discrepancies of the investment of an European movie company? guy behind the french/monaco movie industries involved in human trafficking? local cops involved in all the dirty business? Russian mafia, police corruption, hit-man, hired assassin....blah, blah and blah. then the guy would suddenly become so interested in getting the poster signed by a male star whom he thought already dead? in order to make the stupidly awkward scenario go along, the guy refused a full case of $$$cash bribery and let it slide, the next day checked out earlier without any reason, but then he still could receive the poster that the female chief financial officer of the movie company in front the hotel check-in/check-out counter by someone so timely, yet the female chief financial officer didn't know that he already checked out of the hotel?? you tell me if this kinda scenario arrangement was logically enough. if you do, then what can i say?
johnny-08 John Mackenzie's "Quicksand" is a solid thriller with well known actors. Michael Keaton could done more in his career, obviously he's not capable of doing that. Michael Caine is great actor but in this movie he's just here for the poster, so people can see that great Caine is in this movie. Like trick to draw viewers. Judith Godrèche is beautiful French actress but when will you Americans start to notice other actors, especially supporting ones. I'm aiming at Rade Serbedzija, one of the best Croatian actors. Serbedzija acts in theaters and in the movies and with Caine he's the only man in this crew who's doing that. Serbedzija is far better actor then Keaton and you have to believe me on this one because you haven't watched most of the movies where Serbedzija plays main character. What really bothers me is one comment about this movie. Author of that comment says that in this movie stars are Kaeton, Caine and that professor from "Mission Immposible 2". That actor has a name and that is Rade Serbedzija. Remember him cause he is better then Visnjic, star from "ER".
tha_destroya This movie has a very sexual, very perverse, and very twisted angle in its plot. It's only a small part of the movie, but I was immensely aroused. If you are a very sexual, perverse, or twisted individual, this mystery will have a very rewarding turn of events for you.We're talking about people's daughters here.The dialog kept me amused -- the characters weren't all stupid. And the arousing turn of events towards the end is well worth the wait.If you watch these sort of movies I can see how some of it might seem predictable. But this movie kept me on my toes most of the time.Again, we're talking about people's daughters here.
