What a pleasant surprise
3 March 2013
What a pleasant surprise for a (mostly) video-release movie. I checked it out due to Maura Tierney, who is so pretty and such a good actress. I think she would have been great in feature films, but I suppose her looks are more girl-next-door pretty, instead of supermodel pretty. She does very well here with an obviously damaged character. But then the film has Adrien Brody, from before his Oscar win, looking impossibly young, chewing the scenery with extreme gusto. Also Terry Kinney, playing his patented damaged cop. Sure, the film has some flaws, a few plot holes, and some odd minor characters. But for what it is, it is well worth a look.
