Review Time
Warning: there is a component of dementia in this film.
Storyline: it is good;
the pacing is something safe and reliable.
Action/Comedy/Art: now I will give you one example of the action and the comedy which
goes hand-in-hand: our lead role Archer/Perlman goes up to his target's front
door and blows some smoke from his cigarette up at the fire alarm/sprinkler
system and opens up his umbrella with his gun drawn, waiting for his target to
open the door to see what is happening, consequently Archer/Perlman shoots his
target. If you're wondering what could happen if this sequence went wrong, will
Archer/Perlman does this sequence again but in a different situation and the
viewers will see what could possibly go wrong, there are scenes of just action
and one very tiny element of just comedy as well and there are some good
looking scenes as well.
Characters/Performances: they are good on both counts generally speaking with the character
types you get these reliable performances and on screen chemistry; but now we
come to Archer/Perlman as he knows his shelf life is coming to an end in his
profession and Sophie/Janssen is going through a rough time with her parent
[Dora/Bisset,] so you get this sense of relief and comfort from these two
characters/performers the more time they spend around one another and strangely
enough when they need each other they are always there for one another, so this
is very good on-screen chemistry; yes Archer/Perlman and Avi/Dreyfuss have very
good on screen chemistry as well, but there is just one little problem; we only
have a very small amount of scenes of them working off one another; in a
nutshell there is so much; so, so much unused potential here.
This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; without Archer/Perlman and Sophie/Janssen
individually or together this film would have really struggled.
