Negative Positive
Title: Fall from Grace
Review: A lot of Wim Wenders, quite a bit of Tarantino, and an actor and director I don't really like. I saw this just after viewing the amiable but minor comic film "Fled," and of course U-Turn is also about fleeing, or in the case of the character very well played by Sean Penn, TRYING to flee. Plenty of U-Turns here, and most of the characters, in every case better than expected, are impressively evil. The "hand of the master" is very much in evidence, you don't want to know ANY of these people, but you can't drag your self away from them. Take it on the level of "Reservoir Dogs," but with something of a moral tale mixed in, and you have a highly watchable, though appealingly nasty, couple of hours. Even the director, a bte noire of mine, gains a minor place in my pantheon.
Is the review positive or negative?
