thiago S @Thiagostone May 2 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Brian O @RT35531698 02/01/2024 The narrative is solid - it's just rough in it's telling. There isn't enough serendipity or cunning to provide that "aha" moment the viewer wants. Too many plot twists are laid out for Sheriff Dolezal (Willem Dafoe) in words by this or that character, making the overall experience rather dull. The film is still worth seeing for the latent ambition in its story and the top-notch cast. See more Steve D @RT35616104 02/22/2023 Not a whole lot here. See more 01/31/2022 The premise that kicks off this narrative, with a local cop taking on a murder victims identity in order to discover it, was fairly intriguing but the story asks you to suspend more of reality as it progresses into a mess of multiple identities and unexplained motivations. The cast was decent, starring Willem Defoe with a bunch of recognizable faces from the 90s, and Mickey Rourke. I definitely appreciate the way films from this era look, along with the charmingly nostalgic feeling I get while watching them, even when the plots are messy and the conclusions overly predictable. Samuel L. Jackson Binge: Jackson's performance started out straight forward and dull so I assumed this would be another early role where he was not given a chance to show off his capabilities. Thankfully though his character became more developed and involved which allowed him to display more of his talents as the movie progressed.

This is the kind of movie where the hero has no real motivations to undertake the enormous risks and violations of procedure he does. A more charismatic actor may been able to pull it off but Wiilian Dafoe just can’t. See 1984’s Flashpoint to see how this should be done.

Rourke is essentially a name here and only shows up at varying moments to service the storyline. Dafoe is excellent as normal, but he can only service a story so far and his overall arc isn't earth shattering. High concept 90s films were a dime a dozen and this had a lot of talent behind it. It isn't the worst, but the absurdity of the storyline grows too much by the end. 04/09/2019 See more Read all reviews
