Review of Gotham

Gotham (1988 TV Movie)
5/10
Excruciatingly muddled
28 April 2005
Tommy Lee Jones certainly knows how to deliver a sharp line when he gets one: a man tells him "I want you to find my wife. She's following me everywhere", and he immediately responds "Why don't you slow down and let her catch up to you?". But soft-core sex scenes are not exactly his forte, especially when his partner is the 17-years-younger Virginia Madsen (though if your sole interest is seeing a young Madsen naked you WILL be satisfied, repeatedly). However, the main problem with the film is that it tries to be smart and unusual and hip, but counts on your not thinking about the story for more than a minute; if you DO think about it, it's really utterly stupid. To quote Jones, this film is like "a bad dream that you can't wake up from". (**)
