When I heard Famke Janssen's accent, I laughed. In fact almost everyone has an overdone southern accent.
Seamy settings, seamy plots. Actors acted, did not perform.
What's the point of making a film like this . Total waste of time and money !!!
Watch it with open-mind and interest in stylistic type. All the stupid puns are great!
I didn't expect much going into this from its low rating, but saw it anyway as I had nothing else to watch, and I'm a fan of Travolta and Freeman.I actually enjoyed it!
In 1978, in Los Angeles, the alcoholic smoker and gambler private investigator Carson Philips (John Travolta) is hired to investigate the lack of news from the wealthy Barbara Poole, who is patient from the a mental institution in his hometown Galveston. Carson is reluctant to go, but his debts with sharks associated to the large amount that his client is paying help him to decide to go.
Enjoyable, a touch on the cheesy or parody side, but eminently beautiful soundtrack, whether you're a fan of John Travolta, Morgan or Famke . You'll enjoy this unusual collaboration.
I have seen many, many films worse than this one in my time and the one thing they all have in common with this one is I never want to see any of them again. The problem here is that John Travolta and Morgan Freeman suggest something memorable will occur and neither of them is terrible, but the writing and direction is an abomination.
My husband and I were but sure what to expect when we choose this over inherited viper, but I'm glad we did! The reviews weren't that great, however we have noticed that a lot of movies will low ratings we actually enjoy.
