Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Allan Sopi A supposed noire thriller that ends up coming across as a fruity and bizarre dark comedy for most of the film's running time. An event eventually occurs which then plunges the film into a dreary vortex of soulless performances, weak and uninspired dialogue, and all round sheer mediocrity. Everything that made the film bearable up to that point - the awkward yet authentic dialogue, the quirky characters and comedic cockups - suddenly dissipates into thin air leaving behind a slightly more focused film but also an ultimately depressing, boring and uneventful one. The ending's just as confused as the rest of the film. Instead of being some kind of ironic wink and nod , it feels more like a desperate attempt at trying to salvage something from the unfocused mess that's occurred over the past 80 minutes.

henrikibsen I'm not sure where to start with this because I'm not totally sure what was wrong with the movie, short of everything. Alexis Bledel was oh so wrongly cast and from this role is limited in what role she can play. I was hoping she'd be Ana in '50 Shades ...' Now I'm glad she wasn't cast. She doesn't appear to have the range to play that role. I'm also not sure about the writing. It seemed more than a little awkward at times and there were no times it seemed at it's best ... if there was a 'best' to be attained. Scenes were put in that seemed meaningless to the overall story, such as the Frenchman pulling his car to the side of the road to take a picture. I sure didn't get the need for that one, and then there was the stop at the gas station where he's slumped down in the car hiding and when she get's out to get gas at a convenient store he asks for a drink, but in the end she's the one drinking a strawberry milk and he's chewing on something. Was there a director even there? So, all in all I'd have to say her acting was really lacking, the story wasn't well written and overall it was poorly directed leaving nothing left other than my being forced to give it a 1 for (awful)which is really too bad.

rps-2 At last! A Canadian movie that is set in Canada. Mind you, they don't emphasize it but they don't hide it either. For once I don't have to look at Alberta posing as a stand in for Wyoming. It's not too clear just where in Canada the action takes place (BC maybe???) and whether the cops are really RCMP.(Where are the Stetsons and the pictures of the Queen?) Whatever! Nor could the producers resist the American cops and doughnuts cliché that is more suited to satire than suspense. I suspect they did it in such a way so as not to offend people like me who rage about cinematic "pimping" while still letting parochial American audiences think the action is happening in their country. (No Stetson, no flags, no Queen!) In other words, play both sides of the street. (border?) And what was that business about shoelaces? This is not a great movie by any stretch of the cinematic imagination. It suffers from the Canadian film maker's obsession with cheap motels and 1960 style bathrooms. And the acting --- or maybe it's the direction --- has that uniquely stilted, jerky, artificial Canadian style that says "we're getting a little better at this but not much!" I'm puzzled why the male character is from Paris rather than Quebec and why they went to Paris to shoot one brief street scene. Some kind of co-production deal maybe? It has its flaws. But then what would a Canadian movie be without flaws? (What would Swiss cheese be without holes?) But the plot is catchy with several unanticipated turns. And the ending --- well, I don't want to write a spoiler here --- but the ending is a surprise but not necessarily an acceptable surprise.

Tony Heck "We're gonna drive some more, we're gonna find a hotel and I'm gonna do some thinking. There's a way out of this situation that doesn't involve me losing my job and you losing your wife." New to the force officer Kate Logan (Bledel) stops someone she thinks matches the description of a killer. After realizing her mistake she offers to buy him a drink. The two soon begin an affair that leads to secrets and problems that make them regret meeting each other. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this movie. It didn't really seem like a movie I would like, mostly because it seemed like it would be a "Lifetime" movie. It took about a half hour for anything of substance to happen and about an hour in for me to get interested. The "twist" at the end was OK but very predictable. My main problem with the movie is that the event that causes the spiral of events is so minor that it makes the movie a little unbelievable. Overall, if you like the "Lifetime" channel movies you will like this one. I do and did not. I give it a B-.
