During a future ice age, dying humanity occupies its remaining time by playing a board game called "Quintet." For one small group, this obsession is not enough; they play the game with living pieces ... and only the winner survives.
That isn't my synopsis of Quintet , that is an anonymous explanation of this film I found online and whoever wrote it deserved credit for making a terrible film sound exciting and let me tell you , this is more than terrible .
I have no idea what Paul Newman was thinking when he agreed to star in this film . I know he made a movie with Robert Altman a few years earlier and I can only image he was doing a friend a favour because he couldn't have read the script .
In my pursuit to watch every Paul Newman film , not all have been classics . Some have been very average but at least they have had the great man at the helm to make them watchable. Even Paul Newman couldn't make this film watchable.
Quintet is two hours of waffle about a game that the viewer could never understand and has some of the worst dialogue I've heard in long time .
The set looks terrible. Maybe they found it in a cupboard from the set of Dr Who from the 60's ? They also smeared the edges of the camera lenses with Vaseline to make it look colder . I just wish they had smeared the entire lense so we didn't have to see this horrible mess of a movie .
