Toward the end of the film there is a phone call with his wife in which he appears to be mimicking her “Scottish” accent. It was so blatant that I expected it to have something to do with a plot twist.
Most of Lily Taylor’s lines appeared to be dubbed.
It was revealed in the opening scenes that Richard and Natalie were separated, but not yet divorced.
The critic is way off base here. I thought the movie was fine. It offered a peek into the relationship between law enforcement agencies and paid informants, as well as the tenuous cooperation between federal, state, and local agencies. The lead actor’s inexperience seemed to fit in well with the tone of the piece. It was a depressing life with no real future for those who found themselves raised up in it, and his demeanor reflected that fairly well. He presented a realistic character, while McConaughey seemed to be overacting just a bit.
Some of the reviewer’s vitriol might be explained away as the resentful blathering of a failed actor. A spin through of his Wikipedia page will reveal clues to his irascible nature, and the bombastic style which resulted.
Not only that, the subtitles on the DVD read, “Breathing stops” as he loses consciousness.
When breathing stops, you have about 5 minutes (max) to be resuscitated.
Try ‘shiksa’ next time you get the urge to correct someone.
You might enjoy ‘A Serious Man’.
In Altman’s ‘The Long Goodbye’, Marlowe has a view of his female neighbors’ balcony where they are often seen lounging nude.
A firefighter would have noticed several problems with that ridiculously contrived arson scene, including;
Mariana unscrewing a pipe union by hand.
The flame traveling along the outside of the propane line.
The tank exploding simply because the flame reached it.
The mysterious secondary explosion in the end of the trailer opposite of the tank.
A 9mm round wouldn’t do much to a properly hardened sword, particularly if the sword was hand-held.
Blue Steel
The “Real Doll” is a completely different experience, especially if it “blows up” during use.
Possibly, and fewer illegitimate children and divorces.
When Philo Beddoe and Jack Wilson go on their first run together, they pass a body of water that resembles a flooded rock quarry. This is the scene where Jack falls down a cliff and Philo rescues him.
IMDb doesn’t list that location, does anyone recognize it?
Jamaica has entered the chat. ;)
Beverly > Sondra, 100%
It’s hard to imagine how Locke seems to have hypnotized Eastwood for all of those years. You can see the crazy in that girl’s eyes.
I took it to mean a prostitute.
What in the world is a ‘mother load’?
If you’re referring to surgical masks, members of the operating team wear them so that they don’t lob bacteria-laden spittle into patient’s open body cavities.
Perhaps David Miscavige?
