The Guilty (2000)
Good Thriller
I caught this movie on TV the other night and really enjoyed it. The acting was good and I loved the plot. A lot of suspense and a great ending. Bill Pullman is a really good actor who should receive more recognition. This movie is definitely worth seeing if you like a good story. I couldn't figure out how it was going to end and leave me satisfied with the outcome, but it came through with a terrific twist. I had never heard of the young man who played Nathan, but would like to see him in other things. The only character I thought was underplayed was the wife. More could have been done with this role. It was also a little heavy on the violence, but this is somewhat understandable given the "film noir" genre.
Curtain Call (1998)
Boring & A Waste of Talent
I caught this on TV the other night and am so sorry I wasted my time. This was a boring, completely predictable, stupid movie. I thought it was going to be good and was looking forward to watching it considering all the great talent, but the story was awful and jokes were so lame. The writing wasn't clever at all. I'm sure that Maggie Smith, Michael Caine, and James Spader have this turkey on the "Ones I'd Like to Forget" list. These are all terrific actors and usually make great movies. How did all these good actors get roped into this fiasco? I guess it must have looked good on paper. My advice is to avoid this movie at all costs, unless you are looking for something that will put you to sleep.
