Title: Poison Penn
Product review: I hate to disagree with my fellow Amazonians, but I was supremely disappointed with F&S. It's a shame, since Penn and Hutton give great performances (especially Penn). The movie has a strong start, develops the relationship between Hutton & Penn's characters well, and offers first-rate tension in their half-baked spy escapades. However, just as their plans unravel, so does the film as it devolves into Hollywood shtick. Worst is Hutton's relationship: Lori Singer's portrayal of H's girlfriend is so wooden she barely furrows her brow when H breaks up with her.My biggest beef is with Pat Metheny's score. His overmixed, cheesy newage noodling dates the movie and makes it sound like a training video.As a DVD, F&S fares no better. There isn't even a *trailer*, much less bios or information about the people the movie is about.
