I watched this movie last night on a wonderful Sunday evening. With John Cusack starring and a few other well known actors I had a feeling this movie would be interesting. The last movie I saw with John Cusack was Grand Piano which was amazing. The Bag Man is about John Cusack transporting a mysterious bag that he is not supposed to look in, then wait at a seedy motel in the middle of no where, where he will get paid for his services.
Seems like a simple concept for a movie, however, many unique characters enter the scene to try to steal the bag for themselves. The story becomes a game of survival, and John Cusack meets a girl who thinks she is going to be killed by the shady people she is with at the hotel. John and this girl, Rebecca Da Costa, they both team up to fend off anyone who is trying to steal the bag which seems like everyone that is around this motel even the cops.
The acting is decent enough to hold the movie together. You do get drawn in knowing that there is going to be a few twists to really make this movie pop. Also Crispin Glover is in this movie, so that is pretty unique. The action in this movie hits pretty hard, the fight/gun scenes are very realistic and visually make an raw impact. I recommend this movie to John Cusack fans and many others, it is a nice movie to watch at home, maybe not the best date movie unless she enjoys this kind of style!
Till next time, don't wear a man bag.
