      Audience Member it was ok but had many parts left unexplained and I was very disappointed in Lauren Bacalls acting, she is much better than that. the movie had enough violence and drama but with all the holes in the story it leaves much to be desired. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member It wasn't that bad, but I lost interest halfway through. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Flashbäkeillä kerrottu undercoverhuumepoliisitarina, jonka juoni liimataan lopussa väkinäisesti yhteen. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't agree with Brian Bells comment. It's actually a hidden, independent gem. The plot is all over the place...but it comes together in the end. Its told through a series of flashbacks. Claire Forlani and Lauren Bacall also play very well off each other. Forlani is a terrific actress -- always has been and she makes you seriously uncomfortable as a junkie going though withdrawal. Lauren Bacall, one of the greatest actresses of all time is super fun here as well. Her one-liners are brilliant and well written and she delivers them with her acid wit. I do actually own this movie. -- In American it's "Gone Dark" so if you look for it...it's under that name. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I'll be honest, I didn't watch the entire film. In fact I only was the first six minutes, but I could tell in that short amount of time that in order to like this film you would have to have the mind of a certain prominent politician whom we all know and I won't mention the name. You can tell in the first six minutes that this movie is very poorly written, horrendously directed and terribly acted. The craftsmanship on this movie is so bad that I can't see why it would even merit being shown on late-night cable TV. Don't waste your time, and definately don't waste a spot on your queue like I did. Overall 0/4 Stars Grade = F Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member [font=Arial Black][img]http://ai.pricegrabber.com/muze_images/Video/DVD/28/225028_118x160.jpg[/img][/font] [font=Arial Black]Plot: A thriller murder mystery, with a stellar cast, delves into the life of May (Lauren Bacall), an older woman living alone and desperately trying to maintain her independence. While dealing with her neighbors and the urging of friends to enter a nursing home, May intends to stay put. However, her peaceful life is thrown into chaos when her neighbor Denny (Henry Czerny) turns up murdered, and a mysterious woman (Claire Forlani) claiming to be a police officer asks for help. The ensuing web of drugs, organized crime, and murder pull in May, and she must find a way to stop the killing.[/font] [font=Arial Black][/font] [font=Arial Black]Iiiight no surprise this movie Gone Dark really sucks. It had potential but it just didn't deliver. The story was somewhat original but it wasn't really well explained especially when there's scenes jumping back and forth and past to present. It was really poorly edited and directed. Surprising the acting wasn't dat bad but the lead actress Claire Forlani who plays Monica an undercover special agent I guess who's in "too deep" blah blah blah give me a break she was horrible her acting was terrible, her dialogue wasn't great but was workable and she just wasn't good. Lauren Bacall was really good playing May an old women in the middle of the chaos. Pete Postlethwaite was really great I think the best performance playing Gale Carmody an insane Mobster I wish he was in more scenes and give some info on him and his crime organization. Other then those to performances everything else sucked. The story was really cheesy and trying to hard to be clever. Stay away from this movie.[/font] Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
