VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Miles-10 This neo-film noir is one of a genre of late twentieth century American films that all seem to involve corrupt characters, fast cars, a ribbon of highway and, of course, plenty of guns wielded by people who appear never to have taken a gun safety course. The actors are the best reason to see "Black Day, Blue Night." There is the late, great J.T. Walsh ("Swing Blade," "Pleasantville," "Red Rock West," "The Last Seduction," and many more), who did many neo-films noirs (See also "Breakdown"). Then there is Michele Forbes of the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Homicide." (In a supporting role, there is even the late Bejamin Lum who also appeared on a Star Trek episode titled "The Naked Now.") A spoiler of sorts--a clue really: Only the most innocent survive, but innocence is a very relative term in a movie like this, and you probably won't guess who is innocent before the final reel.

modius * may contain spoilers*After a "car crash", local sherrifs discover a pile of money and the drivers deads, most of the money is marked and JT Walsh suspects a survivor is on the run and soon is on the track of him/her, Mia Sara and Michelle Forbes who form an unlikely relationship after Mia catches Michelle with her wife-beating husband.The film's locations and cinematography distract from what is a slow story and a slow movie. The two ladies in a pink cadallac decide to take on mysterious hitchhiker Gil Bellows who has the largest sideburns I've ever seen in a movie - instinctly you believe that Bellows is the survivor and his suitcase holds the remaining cash from the car crash/robbery.This is reinforced when JT walsh beats Bellows to a pulp and his sherriff buddies scare Bellows with questions about who he is and where he is going.The whole concept of the mysterious hitchhiker is soon ditched as Mia gets topless in some hot steamy waters with Bellows and after a while JT Walsh gets killed and we realise that Mia was the survivor and has the money.Again Bellows, mysterious as ever seems to disappear and reappear when the story seems necessary - for, example, when Mia's hubby returns all blacked up (why was he all blacked up, did Mia dump him in a coal mine or something?). Mia's hubby decides to "kidnap" his wife, the cadallac and the money and drives away.Bellows follows in his truck/jeep - as Mia and hubby hurtle towards a speeding train and then hits it and explodes violently.Then the sequence that really made no sense appears. Bellows, gets out of his jeep - goes over to Mia, looks at her and then RUNS exactly the same way he drove - for about 10 to 20 seconds, stops and then screams ands then carries on running....where's he running to...why did he take off his jacket for? Why didn't he just take the jeep? The ending made no sense....the rest of the film wasn't too bad and I'm sure Mia getting topless sure adds a little steam to a slow story.Overall: 3/10

bob the moo This is another road-movie style thriller. The story is not exactly gripping as it slowly moves through the desert. J.T. Walsh 's investigation into the robbery is good but the body of the film is dull. The twists at the end are quite good but the conclusion lacks a punch due to poor character development.Gil Bellows is OK in the lead but is too laid back for a role in a thriller like this - he doesn't have any mystery around him. Forbes and Sara are both quite dull and could have been played by anyone. Walsh adds undeserved class to the film but he really isn't good as he has nothing to do here.Overall, a disappointing road movie come thriller that moves slowly along before ending in a good, if unmoving, conclusion.

oliverburnett This is one of those fun entertaining thrillers. I don't want to give anything away but if your in the mood this is one of those rare gems that no one has seen. Great plot twists, Great surprises. This one will keep you guessing. Mia Sara and Michelle Forbes are awesome!
