Boarding Gate (2007)
3/10
Pretty bad, though it ends far better than it begins
15 July 2020
A beautiful woman, Sandra, seduces a wealthy businessman, Miles Rennburg. Little does he realise that she has been sent to kill him at the behest of her boyfriend/crime partner, Lester. Controlling all this is Sue, Lester's wife.

This film started incredibly badly, with laughable dialogue and a plot that made little sense. The scenes involving Sandra / Asia Argento and Rennburg / Michael Madsen are incredibly cringeworthy in their pretentiousness, dullness, poor dialogue and next level-wooden acting from Madsen. Just the presence of Michael Madsen pretty much gives it away that this film is going to be bad: his days of Tarantino roles are well behind him.

However, once Madsen is no longer in the picture things pick up a bit and some semblance of a plot emerges. It is never good or even watchable but at least it's not as bad as the first few scenes.
