Mini-Review: Great direction, good scenery.
Mini-Review: I laughed a few times.
Mini-Review: The subject matter is interesting.
Mini-Review: Can't overcome my sense of doubt.
Mini-Review: The Irish actors are nice to watch. The premise is good. The plot and directing are below mediocre and who wants to see a gay Willem Dafoe? This film could've been so much more, but is ultimately a let down.
Mini-Review: English version of "Pulp Fiction". Would rank higher if murder weren't one of its principal plot devices.
Mini-Review: High ranked because it started a genre. The movie itself is decent.
Mini-Review: Hollywood crap, but set in London. Jude Law is great. Julia Roberts is horribly bad. I'm not convinced she's been in London more than a week before shooting. She seems completely lacking acclimation. There's nothing really redeeming about this film. The potty mouth scene between Julia Roberts and Clive Owen is gross. So staged, you can practically see the script through the dialogue. Overall, leaves the viewer with an empty feeling in a bad way.
Mini-Review: Really an excellent look into life in modern Iran as well as a critique of the disparity of wealth between classes.
