A good movie

Honestly, I had no idea what to expect from this flick but since Angelina Jolie was in it, I thought I might as well give it a try. I think it must be, so far, the most obscure movie starring Jolie that I have seen but, surprisingly, I thought it was actually pretty good, especially considering the poor ratings it gets here on Listal and on IMDb. Of course, it was nothing great whatsoever and the whole thing looked pretty cheap but I did like the tone and the cast was pretty decent (Rosanna Arquette, Angelina Jolie, Mekhi Phifer). Since it was made on a rather low budget, you didn’t get the usual preposterous action scenes and, instead, they put the focus on the characters who were, most of the time, quite intriguing. Since she is nowadays arguably the most famous female movie star in the world, you won’t see Angelina Jolie show up in a such a small production (at least, without anyone noticing) and it was rather fun to see her when she was a bit younger and not yet such a huge star. A year later, she would be in ‘Pushin Tin’ and, above all, ‘The Bone Collector’, and from then on, her star never stopped to rise, for good or bad. Anyway, to conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing, it is actually a pretty good flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Angelina Jolie’s work.
