What was that? After hearing Phil Collins’ song, I decided to watch this movie. Three famous actors, Bridges, Woods, Ward, the 80s...the film and the evening promised to be promising.
But it wasn't. I don’t know what words to describe what’s happening on the screen. The plot is indistinct, the motives of the main characters are incomprehensible, the characters of the characters are not fully disclosed. It seems that the director could not decide whether he wants to make a melodrama, or an action movie, or a crime. And I decided to mix everything...everything.
Gradually, I began to lose the thread of what was happening on the screen.
The beginning is melodramatic-adventure. A footballer with principles who is thrown out of the team, a rich daughter of a not timid ten who goes against her parents and who craves passion and adventure, as well as her ex-boyfriend "bad guy." It would seem that the plot is clear. Everything will take place around the main character and her feelings, she craves freedom, a strong and rebellious woman ... all things blah blah blah, and two men will fight for her. A classic triangle.
This storyline would be enough. But no, somewhere around the middle of the movie, something incredible and incomprehensible started happening on the screen. Some mafia schemes, and in general, how sideways this chick, generally scored on the main character. Murders, corruption schemes, intimidation, documents, communications, etc.
That is, this girl has been protesting against rich parents for many years, leaving them, and living with whom, where and how she wants, despite the fact that they have all the tools to pressure her, and in the end suddenly use levers of pressure on her?
What happens on the screen is slow, then suddenly in a couple of minutes there are unimaginable jumps and 100,500 events. The characters of the characters are only partially disclosed or not disclosed at all. The two main characters lie in bed, it seems that they have love, but the feeling that they have no thoughts, no feelings and in general it is not clear what happened to them all this time, what happened to other heroes during this time, and what they are doing here. The film is filled with some actions, but still as if nothing happens.
What was that? Why did they take that? These questions will stay with you after watching. No, you're going to have cinematic dissatisfaction.
It is worth looking only to look at the beautiful bed scenes with young Ward and Bridges, the beautiful views of Mexico (palms, sand, ocean), and at the very end look at the chic Ward and listen to the soundtrack from Phil Collins.
