I found no connection with the cool-kid psuedo detective for 30-40 minutes. I kinda HATED him for most of it, actually. Noirs will present anti-heros all the time, but there will be something to hold onto, something to get behind, maybe small and insignificant, but something. this guy had nothing. i started to really dislike the whole thing - it turned around a little for me at the running, wing-tips clicking, getting chased by a bad guy scene, but it never paid off for me. i think sujan hit it on the head with the twin peaks/high school troupe thing. johnson had the noir language but i don't think he had NOIR itself down. an understanding of it, of the good and evil and more evil. of the underbelly - of the futility of punching your way out of a frame up... i haven't seen it in awile, but i remeber being ready to love it and walked away really not liking it. all surface, no attempt at substance or even significance. <BR/><BR/>take your flunky noir and dangle.lachimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11095108357100539663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351054.post-1168477833148279562007-01-10T20:10:00.000-05:002007-01-10T20:10:00.000-05:00too bad sam and nicole don't read this blog. they'...too bad sam and nicole don't read this blog. they'd kill me for even mentioning that movie and making them sit through it.Listmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503400201264578579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351054.post-1168470495593396832007-01-10T18:08:00.000-05:002007-01-10T18:08:00.000-05:00Your goal for 2007 should be to mention Blood & Co...Your goal for 2007 should be to mention Blood & Concrete in every movie review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
