American Night (2021)

Disjointed & Superfluous

[3/10 · 15 January 2022]

These actors all gained fame somehow twenty to thirty years ago and have all lost the plot both in their personal life (substance abuse, sexual misconduct, etc.) and with this attempt at filmmaking.

The story is highly predictable and when something surprising actually occurs, it makes no sense or has little to no relevance to the storyline.

The effects and makeup are just bizarre. I can't even be bothered to explain.

If you have some time to kill, watch something else.

The Bag Man (I) (2014)

really disappointing

[4/10 · 27 April 2014]

I was really attracted to this movie due to the cast. I love Crispin Glover, and his role and acting were great. I felt the script was really weak at times, which left the other two stars, Jon Cusack and Robert DeNiro looking pretty pathetic. The chick was smoking hot, but again the acting seemed like acting. No Oscars here.

I also felt the director was building a few moments to crescendo and reveal a shocking truth or twist, but the film was so predictable, all the efforts fell short. The movie dragged on and in the end, predictable.

I did like the location of the motel, a really creepy atmosphere. Good job, location scout.

This movie is watchable, but not something you'll be telling friends about.
