Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/vomiting/car hit/biting

Wrong place, wrong time is Harry Torne: so let's somewhat speed this up after serving time Harry Torne/Henry Smith/Lopahin [Keanu Reeves] didn't knowingly commit he decides to try and rob the bank for real; Buffalo Savings Bank with his cellmate and friend Max Saltzman [James Caan] and eventually others. Harry also finds someone in Julie Ivanova/Lyuba Ranevsky/Mrs. Ranevksy [Vera Farmiga] that these two opposing characters; one is placid and the other is aggressive, so they balance each other out and yes she knows of the robbery.

The pacing for this 108 minutes film is like the comedy deadpan as for the two crystal clear where we have Harry being hit by Julie car as she was on her mobile or later on she accidentally and a knowingly opens a door which Harry is standing behind so he gets it in the face. But be it the pacing, comedy and the tone is drama mixed in with deadpan.

Art; on some research we have seen with this waterfall in; name of waterfall American Falls, Niagara Falls, New York, USA [I am probably right, but I will just come right back by saying apologies if I have got the location wrong] and bringing this play to life The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov and everything that comes with that.

Action; yes you get the standard crime action scenes/sequences.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are safe and reliable versions of what they are meant to be, but the performances between the trio of performers I have mentioned in this review already put in good performances with excellent chemistry between them, they make this film work.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; even though I have praised this film, I had to take a mark off, because I really don't like how this film finishes. I get it; they try to finish it like a play. I wouldn't have a problem with this; if they implied this may have been a possibility, basically what I'm saying is; run this film as a play from beginning to end and I wouldn't have minded. But as things are there is just too much unexplained in a nutshell " What happened next on all counts?"
