Negative Positive
Title: Year of the drag
Review: Let me start off by saying I've seen this movie only twice. The first time I was impressed, but only recently realized I had only seen the last third of the movie. After viewing it on cable recently I cannot believe I ever liked it in the first place. Two problems are: the editing is atrocious, Cimino cuts from one scene to another too abrubtly and the chemistry between Rourke and the tv journalist is non-existant. Also the ending left me shaking my head, and the plot was a bit hard to follow. Finally, Cimino relies too much on gentle guitar music, like he did succesfully in "The Deer Hunter" Beleive me there are no tender moments in this film.
Is the review positive or negative?
