Negative Positive
Title: almost good but not quite
Review: This is another one of those annoying movies where the men fornicate with everything that moves and the women who love these schmucks are depicted as shrill and clingy for being upset about it. But when the man gets totally unhinged by evidence of the woman's infidelity this is somehow powerful and emotional. I really wish that Hollywood would stop perpetuating this insulting double standard.Adrian Brody was somehow compelling as the tritely written "criminal with the soul of a poet". There were a few moving scenes that made the movie worth watching ("I hate you".."I know") and some some of the other love scenes were touching and realistic as well. Pam Grier was great, as were a number of the other minor roles.Overall, a disappointment but with a few transcendent scenes.
Is the review positive or negative?
