Thelma & Louise (1991)
Louise is working in a fast food restaurant as a waitress and has some problems with her friend Jimmy, who, as a musician, is always on the road. Thelma is married to Darryl who likes his wife to stay quiet in the kitchen so that he can watch football on TV. One day they decide to break out of their normal life and jump in the car and hit the road. Their journey, however, turns into a flight when Louise kills a man who threatens to rape Thelma. They decide to go to Mexico, but soon they are hunted by American police. (imdb)

Such an unlikable film. Not just the bad production values or the fact that it tries so hard for its camera work to be that of Badlands, its the premise, the leading ladies and everything they do. Blowing up some obnoxious guys truck or locking the policeman in the boot and every time they did anything remotely out of their comfort zone, Scott would cue the music and cut to our ladies jazzing off to some tunes being smug brats. While I didn't like the ending either, god I rooted for that cliff.

This is the movie that preaches to the spoiled white women of American bourgeoisie that being mistreated by men is a form of martyrdom and justifies theft, armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.

Reprehensible feminist trash that contains one of the worst endings ever committed to film (or best, depending how you look at it). McDonald is hilarious though.

A movie with this cast shouldn't be so dreadful. The feminist response to this film is interesting to me, considering these women are pretty clueless about the way the world works. They're supposed to seem powerful, but they just come off as jerks.

Fresh and exhilarating with great music and dialogue, and wonderful acting, especially by Pitt as a country kid on the make.

Good performances and good story. It is a very feminist film. This is not a defect, but is more difficult for a man, find it so cool.

Rambling wish-fulfillment that keeps being mistaken as some sort of definitive feminist text by morons. The characters are uninteresting and the entire thing just drags.

I like Susan Sarandon, but, like with so many Ridley Scott films, I am seriously unimpressed... and not just because this is such an antiguy film, either. It's about as subtle as a brick, and, really, quite ordinary. It doesn't help that Jason Beghe is totally wasted

Ridley Scott was one of the most versatile directors; this one is so different than his other works. It has wonderful scenery and excellent acting particularly by Davis and Sarandon (and up-and-coming Brad Pitt). The inevitability of the story is a nice touch and how they caught in this storm that is not particularly their own making was interesting and touching. Its commentary on the deeply rooted sexual aggression in the society and how by enabling it we create victims is poignant even today.

I wish I could like it more, it's well acted, well shot, and despite the plot hinging on a series of bad decisions the sense of desperation feels genuine and each decision seems natural in context. Even so, the middle part of the film relies on this too much for my taste and got slightly frustrating.

This movie succeeds on the strength of the titular friendship. It's a bit bloated and wonkily paced, but the leads - even when they're being dumb as rocks, as Thelma so often is - shine and make this more than an average, forgettable crime caper. I feel somewhat cheated by the famous ending, though - would've been more poignant if it followed through.

A film that dances through the realm of ridiculousness for its silly plot and ludicrously one-dimensional portrayal of men (except for Harvey Keitel, I guess). Well made though.

Pickpocket | 2 21% |

Another unimpressive Ridley Scott film. Lacks the subtleness it needs to be something good - beating me over the head for 2 hours about your obvious message is very tedious. It's also not entertaining and by the end it's just ridiculous. Yeah, blowing up a guys truck cause he made some rude gestures is justifiable, girl power! The only reason to see this is for Christopher McDonald. That guy is awesome.

It's a very good movie, I would've rated it higher if it didn't end on such a cliffhanger.
