This is one of the most enjoyable movies I've ever seen. The gripping story, the action, the well developed characters, the great acting, the dramatic tension and the dark humor kept me on the edge of my seat. I've never seen any other Ridley Scott movie, but this one is surely great.
Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon were amazing. Davis created a character with whom you empathize immediately. She can be a bit dumb, but she's sweet. Her crying scenes are very believable, as is the amazing transformation her character suffers during the movie. Besides, she has a great comic timing and can be very funny. Sarandon shows a down-to-earth attitude, and her eyes are incredibly expressive. Har character changes realistically during the movie, and her crying/confused scenes are very touching and heartbreaking. They have a really great chemistry together, and their characters balance each other.
The supporting cast is good too. Brad Pitt is incredibly hot (as always), and he has just the right look and mannerisms for the role. Harvey Keitel is just there, but his voice fits in the little time he has of dialog. Christopher McDonald is incredibly funny and believable, I loved his performance; the way he walked, spoke and dressed was perfect. Michael Madsen played is character fairly well in the touching subplot he had. Timothy Carhart as Thelma's rapist had a sinister intensity and charm that was great.
The direction was amazing. Ridley Scott shot a road trip mostly with a dusty, yellow look. He had some surrealist moments (the Jamaican guy smoking pot in the desert) that were very cute and enjoyable. The rape scene was very intense and disturbing. The dramatic tension you can feel comes in good part from his direction. The music was good and created the right mood for the film The locations were great. They showed poverty and lots of dirt and decadence, but the desert was beautiful. The stunning cinematography helped giving the movie its full of style look.
The argument is great. The storyline keeps you increasingly interested and the characters are touching and you cared for them. The dialogs are sharp and well written. The only problem is that some of the subplots shouldn't have been there.
The last thing I wanna say is that some moments were clichéd. Like, when Thelma is talking to Louise on the phone, she opens the door of the fridge. This is not too bad, but sometimes it gives the movie a not realistic quality. But, on compensation, there are some incredibly original moments, like when Thelma robs a store. Overall, one of the most enjoyable movies ever, great direction and performances 9.5/10
