Catch .44

     Three women’s lives change as what they think is an easy job after the last one they mucked up, only to find that the situation has changed and it’s starting to look like a set-up.
     This movie casts Bruce Willis, Forest Whitaker and Malin Akerman. This was an interesting movie. It had some repeat back and forth of events that already happened. Majority of the events occur in a diner on a stretch of highway somewhere in the South. I heart Bruce Willis, but I don’t think he was that great in this. Forest Whitaker as usual plays a great psychopath; I think it has something to do with his appearance. I’m sure in real life he’s a normal individual. Or maybe it’s just because he plays a psycho so well that it seems normal for him to play the role. The movie focuses on Malin Akerman’s character as the story unravels and she tries to figure out what’s really going on. This is the kind of movie you have to be in the mood for. It has a C movie charm about it. I’m surprised that this got an all-star cast, and maybe that’s why it had C movie quality, because they were paying more for the stars and not some unknown cast. I liked the movie. I wouldn’t recommend it to just anyone. It had some Quentin Tarantino flair in its aesthetics, dialogue and character development. Had the movie been more serious and the lighting different and muted lighting, it may have taken on a less serious tone. This movie felt comical in a strange way and I don’t know if it was needed. Maybe the story would have been highly unlikely otherwise without the charisma it held. As much as I enjoyed the movie, I’m on the fence of whether it was a good movie or not. It’s leaning closer to the latter.
