Too Tired to Die Reviews

An average movie

Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 8 November 2011 10:03

Nowadays, I have Netflix and Popcorn and not only I have since then an endless selection of movies to choose from but, as a result, I have become slightly more picky regarding the movies I watch. Before, I used to watch pretty much anything as long as it was starring one or two actors I was interested in and, as a result, I would sometimes end up watching some really obscure features. This movie was a perfect example and the only reason I watched it was because it was featuring Mira Sorvino. Indeed, I had never heard about this movie but there was definitely a pretty cool cast involved (Takeshi Kaneshiro, Mira Sorvino, Jeffrey Wright, Michael Imperioli, Ben Gazzara, Gretchen Mol). Well, basically, it turned out to be one of those quirky indie comedies with some colourful and excentric characters. The makers tried to make it all charming and more or less clever but it didn't work out very well in my opinion. There were also some obvious references to 'The Seventh Seal' but this flick never reached the level of Bergman’s masterpiece. Indeed, the directing was way too average and I thought that all the actors gave some rather poor performances., expect maybe the always dependable Jeffrey Wright. To conclude, it was not really bad but it was still rather weak and it was not really worth a look eventually.
