"Big City Blues" is terrible. The main problem is the lighting. You can't see anything. I mean it. The whole movie looks like it was shot in absolute darkness.How can they release this on video? Besides the lighting, everything else is wretched. From what I could see of Reynolds and Forsythe, they couldn't care less. I think the plot was about two hit men and their targets. The idea of a "Pulp Fiction" with Burt Reynolds is interesting, but this mess can only hurt him. Thankfully, not a lot of people will see this.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
... View MoreI bought this DVD for $5.99... A Big Mac meal would have been more satisfying, and I'd have change coming. Much too dark... Although the trailer on the DVD looked like it was timed right. For some reason, and it seems to be a recurring theme here in the comments section, 80% of this movie is almost black. The story was a Pulp Fiction-esque wanna be, missing that all important "story" element. These characters are flat and manufactured with no real goal. Or if they had a goal, it wasn't shared with the audience. The tie in at the end was too "hand of god." I know that movies need convenience as a device, but this was just too coincidental. Not that these characters were destined to come together, but the scene that was written solely for the purpose of coming together. "Hey, look at me, I'm Tarantino!" says the director. "No, you're not," says the box office.
... View MoreBig City Blues was one of those films that was Just to hard to follow.I thought the quality of the movie was shocking, it was always to dark, so dark That I could hardly see what the hell was going on half the time.The only good thing going for this film was Burt Reynolds, Without him the movie would have been so much more worse.Oh and yes William Forsythe was also fantastic.This is a movie that wonders off in all different directions. Do your self a big favor and stay the hell away from this film, Unless your like me and are a super Burt Reynolds fan and will watch movies that are so incredibly bad just because Mr. Reynolds is in it.
... View MoreThis movie is about two hit men, a prostitute and a couple of gay men. They all pass each other over one eventful night and finally meet in a shoot-out at an apartment. I really liked the off beat humor of this movie. You get the feel of it straight away from the opening spoof of a French film and there are some crazy scenes in it - including a frog ball. I thought the story and the acting were really good. The Latin flavored music too fitted well. I highly recommend this film .
