Ziggy T Incredibly bad. Nonsensical plot and just painful to watch. Jeff Bridges plays the worst cop ever, putting every woman in harm's way and Alexandra Paul is the worst actress. Andy Garcia is just a silly villain with lousy henchmen. No wonder he loses to an alcoholic. The movie gets dumber by the minute. Still, the real loser of this drivel is the director, okaying such lousy and painfully slow editing. The only reason i rate this movie a 1/5 instead of 0,5 is the music. Otherwise this would just be trash for the bin Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Bahad j I am very happy that the movie shows us the steps and choices that are necessary in the life of a great person. I like the movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Mike L This movie held my attention for awhile but became labored and over done half way thru. I've always liked Jeff Bridges but this was not his best effort. Direction and script left him with little room to shine. If nothing else is on, it's not a bad way to waste some time Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Blu B What a fall from grace for one of the best directors of the 70's. You can't even tell this is directed by Ashby as the "Ashby Touch" is completely missing here. The editing is terrible. This is trying to be a crime drama/noir/off beat romance and it just never in the slightest makes it work let alone tell a competant story. You think at first this is going to be about Bridges getting his life back, than falling in love with a hooker, than it turns into a murder mystery, than a crime drama sting, than a new love interest and it just gets so convuluted that I seriously couldn't follow it. It always is focused on Bridges but it never feels like it stays focused or commits to one idea or melds them together into one cohesive narrative. The pacing dear god is horrifcally bad. There is SOOOO much dialouge in this constantly. You just wish they would have some quiet moments in this and it never ever happens. It's dialouge constantly and it's not good either. It's so clunky or just unclear or meandering most of the time. The music is probably the best thing but even that is just ok in a gloriously dated way. The music bleeds 80's. Everything else is subpar. While the framing and camerawork isn't bad most of the time it's just them standing around talking and it becomes so boring. Bridges character sin't that likeable and you never understand his motivations why he's doing this stuff. Why hookers seem to fall in love with him, the stupid miscast pimp, it just all makes no sense. Skip this. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Boa Lin C only if you are Bridges fan Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Rufus I started to re-watch the movie recently because I had a fond memory of watching it upon its original release. Never trust memories. They will fool you. I have a question maybe someone can answer. I was confused at why Sunny would ask Matt to negotiate her release from Chance when it was Angel who held her in thrall? I may have missed something (which is possible since the movie did not retain my attention for long I turned it off about two-thirds of the way through) but asking Matt her secure her freedom from the wrong person made no sense, and that was the movie's starting premise. It doers not bode well for a movie when its starting premise is illogical. Rosanna Arquette and Alexandra Paul were both embarrassingly inept, Arquette shrill and Paul giddy and over the top. Andy Garcia and Jeff Bridges were better but to no particular point in a flabby plot. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
