Sunset Grill (1993)
Horrible Mess
28 March 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I like Weller, film/noir detective films, and films from the early-mid 90's, but this was a simply horrible film. It looked like something some high school kids put together. It was so cheesy, it looked like it was made in the early-mid 80's, not 1993. His ridiculous moustache was just the icing on the cake. And the lead "Mexican" was obviously an anglo with a fake accent. (They couldn't find enough Latin actors in Southern California?) Aside from some surprisingly graphic sex scenes (especially with Alexandra Paul, almost making the film worth viewing), this seemed like a cheesy made-for-TV film from 1983.

Acting -- horrible. Plot -- ridiculous.

I think what bothered me the most was that this film had the ingredients to be something solid -- Weller, film noir, etc. And failed miserably. Check out "The Underneath" (Peter Gallagher) for a better version of a noir film from the mid-90's.
