Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews I recommend 'Breathless' for non-squeamish thriller fans, but the amount of blood and gore on display may be way beyond what even those brave viewers can imagine. Aug 25, 2012 Full Review Jules Brenner Cinema Signals No kidding. If you chained-smoked half as much as the plotting ladies in this twisty dramedy, you'd be hyperventilating, too. Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2012 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Could be watchable because of Gina Gershon's mildly interesting manipulative and ruthless damsel-in-distress role.

farah r A fascinatingly twisted and gory revenge story with a hilarious script and an even better plot twist ending. I very much enjoyed the Tarantino vibe which helped overcast the long dialogue sequences. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Gina Gershon and Kelli Giddish star in the noir crime film Breathless. After accidentally killing her husband while trying to find out where he hid $100,000 from a bank robbery, Lorna enlists her best friend to help her dispose of the body. Gershon and Giddoish have great chemistry together, and are especial good at delivering the dark comedy. However, the script is a little weak and the dialog is clumsy at times. Additionally, the use of a single set is rather limiting and gives a low-budget feel of the film. Yet despite having a few issues, Breathless is entertaining and kind of fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member like a uninteresting quintin tarrintino pic sucky ending though Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty dark, very twisted, kind of funny... Breathless works at times. The performances are strong, but the dialogue heavy scenes get boring after a bit. You have most likely seen versions of this flick before, but for such a small, contained movie.. it does its job. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member a film with potential ended up... messed up. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review walter m When Tiny(Kelli Giddish) visits her friend Lorna(Gina Gershon) in her trailer, she is shocked to discover Lorna holding a gun on her no-good tied-up husband Dale(Val Kilmer). Lorna suspects him of being involved in a bank robbery in a nearby county that netted $100,000 and would kindly like to know the location of the loot. All questions are moot after Lorna forgets to set the safety on her gun. Enter Sheriff Cooley(Ray Liotta). While it would probably not be out of the question to think of "Breathless" as little more than an extended episode of "Tales from the Crypt," it is also fairly entertaining due to some good work from its principal actors. And while the graphic violence contains the odd dismemberment, the movie is not really sadistic, either. But while I always appreciate a crafty scheme, the one at the heart of this story is a little too perfect, like the one on the other side of the state in "The Bridge," both serving as reminders how writers, like sabermetricians, can forget about the human factor now and again.
