Review of Cosi

Cosi (1996)
3/10
Another dud from the Australian Film Finance Corporation
7 July 2008
I found this one embarrassing to watch, from start to finish. At first it was just the bad acting; Mendellson was so droll and Friels wooden, and most others were just over the top, like they were acting in a child's pantomime but saying "f...k" a lot. Then the implausibility of the screenplay and plot really started to bother me. The cinematic and plot clichés were an insult to anyone's intelligence. How do they get away with receiving funding for this type of movie? What do they write in their grant acquittals? Do they keep a straight face? I don't think so. Well, I guess they all had a bit of fun making it, because Rozelle hospital's a nice place to hang out and everybody loves working with pigs on set.
