The Leading Man Reviews

Basically, it was another rather obscure movie that I had for such a long time on DVD so I thought it was really time to watch the damned thing. To be honest, while watching this movie, I kept wondering why I actually bought it in the first place and, if I recall it correctly, it was because Nicole Kidman gave a 10 seconds cameo. I mean, seriously, you should never buy or even watch a movie for such a lame reason. Anyway, after all, I saw the damned thing and it wasn't really good, I'm afraid. Above all, I thought it was rather poorly written. Indeed, who the hell was actually the main character? You might assume that it was Jon Bon Jovi's since his name was prominently displayed on all the promotional material and since he was the title character but he wasn't in fact the main character but I'm not sure if it was Lambert Wilson's character either. So, the whole thing was rather unfocused. Futhermore, coming back to Lambert Wilson, this guy was just so spineless, so pathetic, it was nearly impossible to care for what he was going through. Concerning Jon Bon Jovi, to be honest, I haven't seen very often someone so miscast in a movie. I mean, sure, he has a pretty face, I'll give you that, but why on Earth would you choose a rockstar to play an actor?!? It seemed to be some rather misguided stunt casting. Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing was pretty weak and I don't think it is really worth a look.
