Movie Reviews of A Little Trip to Heaven
Movie Review: If you like noir
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful little piece of noir that makes me think of some of the really great 1940s films. We have a beautiful unappreciated woman, a dark controlling family member, an insurance investigator.... sound familiar?
But tho the plot may resonate, this is a very original and beautifully done little film. Of course, with such incredible acting talent, what would one expect?
After a brief scene that introduces the insurance men to us, the film gives us a scene filled with a brutal murder and set up for an insurance scam. As the insurance investigator comes to town to see if the one million dollar payout is justified, we meet people that may or may not be who they say they are. And how perfectly this plays out for us.
We especially enjoyed the little tribute to traditional noir films. You know how sometimes we find the hero in a club with a beautiful chanteuse who may or may not be involved? In this film, the club and the club employee are a bit more realistic. We enjoyed the reference.
I recommend this movie without reservation to anyone who enjoys good acting, thriller plotting, and an unexpected ending.
