Toast Reviews

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since it was starring Bridget Fonda and Kiefer Sutherland, I thought I should give it a try. Well, it bascally started like a rather standard domestic violence related thriller but it got really weird fairly quick. Indeed, you had a deaf woman, her weird crazy mother, two dead bodies, some lost cash and a dog which didn’t add anything to the plot. So, it was definitely a rather strange flick and I have to admit that I was on the edge of my seat during the whole thing wondering what would happen next. Unfortunately, the directing and the acting were just really weak and some of the scenes were rather stupid. I mean, the two (!) scenes during which the main character stole a car were just so ridiculous and there were many more scenes which didn't make much sense either. Still, I couldn't help thinking that a (good) director such as David Lynch could have created a pretty neat dark tale with this material, but it wasn't meant to be, I’m afraid. Anyway, to conclude, even though the damned thing had some potential, it was rather average and, eventually, not really worth a look.
